Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar substitute (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar substitute until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat the eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if desired.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too sticky. Use fresh spices for maximum flavor. Watch the baking time to prevent overbaking.
