Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup classic monk fruit sweetener
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons xylitol
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or you can also use a baking stone.
- Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until well combined.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Then add monk fruit to the butter and continue to mix for 7 to 8 minutes until fluffy, scraping down the sides periodically. Mixing for this amount of time is essential as the texture of the butter will change.
- Add the vanilla and egg to the butter and then mix until blended slightly. The mixture will not be even.
- Slowly add dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cinnamon and xylitol until blended.

- Place cookie on a baking sheet and press down to about ½ inch thickness. NOTE: these cookies will not spread.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookies are set. Remove from oven but rest on cookie sheet for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack and then cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
