Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups superfine blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or confectioners sugar
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetener until smooth and aerated.
  • Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes to ensure structural integrity for cutting.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a uniform thickness of 1/4 inch.
  • Use cookie cutters to cut shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets using an offset spatula.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly golden and the center is set.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 20 minutes to allow the protein structure to firm up before handling.
