Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol using a hand or stand mixer, until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually add almond flour to the mixture, stirring gently until a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into small balls (about one tablespoon) and flatten them slightly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Quality ingredients matter! Use high-quality almond flour and sweetener for the best flavor. These cookies freeze beautifully; prepare a batch and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
