Sugar-Free Flourless Cookies with Almond Flour and Flaxseed

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 10 T Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 T flaxseed meal
• 2 1/2 cups almond flour
• 3 T Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300F/150C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix together the softened butter and Golden Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link). (I used my KitchenAid Stand Mixer (affiliate link) and this dough is quite stiff so I'd definitely use a stand mixer if you have one.)
3. Add the salt and vanilla and mix a few seconds more.
4. Then add the Flaxseed Meal (affiliate link) and Almond Flour (affiliate link) and beat until the mixture comes together. (It will be crumbly at first; continue mixing until it forms a stiff dough.)
5. Then mix the 3 T Monkfruit sweetener with the ground cinnamon and pour that mixture out on a plate.
6. Use a measuring spoon to scoop out slightly heaping tablespoons of dough, roll each one in the Monkfruit/Cinnamon mixture, and place in rows on the parchment paper. Use a fork to smash the cookies down about 1/2 inch thick.
7. Bake about 30 minutes, or until cookies are barely starting to brown and feel barely firm.
8. Let the cookies cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet; they will get more firm as they cool.
9. These cookies freeze well; I've been grabbing one out of the freezer in the mornings to eat with my coffee!
