Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: Additional cinnamon and sweetener for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly with your hands or the bottom of a glass. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Optional Topping: Mix a little cinnamon and sweetener in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the cookies for extra flavor.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these delicious keto-friendly cinnamon almond cookies as a snack or dessert.
