Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour (blanched and finely ground)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar or sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Gradually add almond flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop and roll dough into 1-inch balls, then flatten slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
- Optional: Dust with extra powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use finely ground almond flour (not almond meal) for best texture.
- Cookies will be fragile when warm—let them cool fully before handling.
- For a keto version, use powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend.
- To make ahead, freeze dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time.
