Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter runny and smooth, 250g
  • 1 egg large
  • ½ cup granulated sweetener 100g, use ⅔ cup for a sweeter cookie

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F (conventional) or 160C / 320F (fan assisted).
  2. Put all ingredients in a bowl. Blend using an electric blender or simply stir together with a fork.
  3. Scoop out dough portions with a spoon or cookie scoop. Roll into a ball and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet or a silpat. Each of my balls weighed 30 grams.
  4. Press into a fat disc shape using a fork, making a crisscross pattern on each cookie top. Option to sprinkle with sea salt.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool fully before touching.

Notes

  • 6g net carbs per cookie. Makes 12 cookies at 30 grams each.
  • For smaller cookies, reduce the oven time to 8 minutes. 
  • Optional add-ons to this recipe:
  • Sea salt - Sprinkled on top of the cookies before baking or a pinch mixed into the batter.
  • Sugar Free Chocolate Chips - Use either homemade sugar free chocolate chips, a brand like Lily's or simply chop 90% dark chocolate into chunks.
  • Cinnamon or vanilla extract - ½ teaspoon of one and/or the other.
  • Baking powder - 1 teaspoon for extra fluffy cookies.
  • Store in a cookie jar for up to 1 week. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months.
