Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk dry ingredients together until well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer until smooth and slightly fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes uniform.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring slowly until a consistent cookie dough forms. The texture should be slightly sticky but hold together.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie portion with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a uniform round shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted, and your egg is at room temperature for the best dough consistency.
- Mixing Technique: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated to prevent tough cookies. Overmixing can lead to dense, hard biscuits.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking and professional-looking results.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to develop their crisp texture and prevent crumbling.
- Storage Hack: For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container with a small piece of bread to help maintain moisture.
- Texture Tip: If the dough seems too sticky, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before shaping to make it easier to handle.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra Biscoff-like flavor, consider adding a tiny pinch of ground cloves along with the cinnamon.
