Prep time: 30 | Cook time: 12 | Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (120g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sweetener of choice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon water (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Use your hands to work the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
  6. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
