Servings 12 cookies
Calories 131kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg white
- ½ cup Swerve confectioners
- ⅓ cup butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan (Optional, but helps with the texture)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional: For Christmas
- ¼ tablespoon zest of orange
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice (or cinnamon)
To Serve
- 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners to dust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C /160 fan.
- In a stand mixer or using a hand electric whisk, whisk the eggs and Swerve until light, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the butter and vanilla extract until combined.
- Sprinkle the almond flour, coconut flour, cacao, xanthan, baking powder and salt evenly into the wet mixture and whisk until just combined. Try not to over whisk.
- Roll the mix into individual balls. If the mix is a little sticky, wet your hands with a little oil before rolling. Option to place in the fridge if you need to before rolling.
- Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Note in the picture, I dusted in a layer of sweetener first but later decided it’s better just to dust afterwards for a softer cookie or the cookies set harder.
- Bake for 7 - 9 minutes, or until the cookies are still a little soft, pressing the cookies slightly down to get the crinkle effect about 1 minute before they look done. They will firm up as they cool. Try not to over bake. Allow to cool slightly and roll in powdered sweetener. If storing, option to roll in powdered sugar just before eating as the sweetener will make the cookies set harder.
- Storage: In Tupperware for 3 days or freezer for 2 months.
