Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 3 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon xylitol
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond extract; optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl until a batter forms, then use a tablespoon to scoop dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (I gently flatten my cookies using a fork.)
  3. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, watching closely to ensure they don't burn.
  4. Remove cookies from the oven when they are lightly golden brown, then cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.
