How to Make Low Carb Almond Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 large egg and mix well to combine.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener), 1 teaspoon almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  6. Place the balls onto an ungreased baking sheet. The almond flour and butter will grease the sheet as the cookies bake.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes.
  8. Gently press down on each cookie ball with a fork.
  9. Continue baking for another 18 minutes.
  10. The cookies will not brown significantly. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For an extra festive touch, drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate once cooled.
