Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 7 tbsps butter (or vegan butter or coconut oil)
- 1 egg (yolk only)
- to taste vanilla extract
- 1/2 baking powder
- 1 oz chocolate chips
- 1 pinch salt
Tools
- 1 Baking tray
- Parchment paper
Steps
Prepare the ingredients:
Make sure the butter is cold and cut into cubes. If using coconut oil, ensure it is solid but soft.
Mix the dry ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the flour, powdered erythritol, salt, and if desired, lemon or orange zest.
Incorporate the butter:
Add the cold butter cubes and work with your fingers or a fork until you get a sandy, crumbly mixture.
Add the egg and flavors:
Make a well in the center and pour in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula or your hands until you get a homogeneous dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour; if too crumbly, add a teaspoon of cold water.
Form a ball:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and compact with your hands to form a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Roll and cut:
After resting, roll out the dough to about 0.2 inches thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 340°F. Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. They are ready to be enjoyed!
You can decorate the cookies with melted dark chocolate, sugar-free sprinkles, or a dusting of powdered erythritol.
