Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar substitute using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  7. Using the bottom of a glass, flatten each dough ball slightly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
