👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
3
In a separate, larger bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and salt. Whisk briefly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
-
5
Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten into a disc about ¼-inch thick. Place them about 1 to 1.5 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
-
6
Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie thickness.
-
7
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 20-30 minutes. They will firm up and become delightfully crunchy as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling if desired, then store in an airtight container.
💡 Notes
For maximum crunch, ensure cookies are flattened evenly and baked until golden. Xanthan gum greatly improves texture. If cookies lose crispness, briefly re-bake in a toaster oven. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
