Calories 131kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup Monk Fruit confectioners
- 1/3 cup butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour (or 1 cup sunflower seed flour to make nut-free)
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan (Optional, but helps with the texture)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: For Christmas
- 1/4 tablespoon zest of orange
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice (or cinnamon)
To Serve
- 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners to dust
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet / baking tray with parchment paper.
Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.- In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, whisk egg + egg white with your powdered sweetener until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes. Mix in melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Sprinkle in the almond flour, coconut flour, cacao, xanthan, baking powder and salt. Whisk lightly—avoid over-mixing so the cookie dough balls stay tender.
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small balls (about 1 tablespoon each). If sticky, wet your hands with a little avocado oil. Place on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 7–9 minutes until the centers look slightly underdone.For that signature crinkle look, gently press each cookie down 1 minute before they finish.
- While still warm, roll or dust with powdered sugar substitute for the classic snowy-holiday cookie finish.If storing, option to roll in powdered sugar just before eating as the sweetener will make the cookies set harder.
- Storage: In airtight container for 3 days or freezer for 2 months.
