This low carb dessert substitutes almond flour for traditional wheat flour--and produces light, delicate coffee flavored cookies.
 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 stick softened butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or
  • coffee flavored extract
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso
 
Method

Combine almond flour, butter, sugar and instant espresso; mix in a mixer for about 2 minutes. Add salt, vanilla or coffee extract and continue to mix for 30 seconds. Form about 24 cookies, and flatten each cookie dough using the back of a fork. Place cookie dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Rotate once during baking. Cool cookies on rack before serving or storing.

 

Notes: These are low-carb cookies.

 

Number of Servings: 24 cookies
