Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour not superfine
- 1/3 cup Wholesome Yum coconut flour
- 1/2 cup Besti monk fruit and allulose powdered sweetener
- 1/4 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper
- pinch of pink salt
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sweetener
- 1 to 2 tbsp espresso or strong coffee
Instructions
- Place the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, cloves, pepper, and xanthan gum in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add 1/2 cup softened butter and the vanilla and process until a smooth dough is made.
- Remove the dough from the food processor and roll it into a log (about 2 inches in diameter) and wrap it in cling wrap. Place the dough in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place parchment paper or a silicone mat on 2 baking sheets.
- Remove the dough from the freezer and unwrap it. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the dough into 1/4 inch discs (about 24) and place 12 discs on each baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
- Place one baking sheet in the refrigerator, place the other in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies begin to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set it aside to cool. Place the remaining baking sheet in the oven and bake as before.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before handling them. They are very soft and crumbly while they are warm.
- In a small bowl, use a small whisk or a fork to combine the powdered sweetener and espresso until a thick but pourable glaze forms. Drizzle all over cooled cookies. Allow the glaze to set.
