How to make?
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup + 2 T Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup almond butter
3/4 cup chopped almonds, plus 20 whole almonds for the tops of the cookies
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F/170C. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. We used the KitchenAid Stand Mixer for these cookies, but you can use a hand mixer if that's what you have. In the mixer bowl, beat together the eggs, Golden Monkfruit Sweetener or sweetener of your choice, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and almond extract if using. Then add the almond flour and beat until it's well combined. Then add the almond butter and beat to combine. Chop up enough whole almonds with skins to make 3/4 cup chopped almonds and gently mix those into the dough. Scoop out one tablespoon of dough at a time, roll into a ball, and place on parchment paper on the baking sheet. Press cookies down so they're flat and press one whole almond into the center of each cookie. Bake cookies about 16 minutes, or until they're barely starting to brown and still feel slightly soft. Let them cool at least 20 minutes or longer; they will harden more as they cool.
