Keto Vanilla Crescent Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

butter: ideally grass fed, softened (leave it in a bowl at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave for a few seconds)

finely ground almond flour

ground almonds (almond meal): not the same as almond flour! You need both for this recipe.

.
erythritol: my absolute favorite keto-friendly sweetener! But other granulated sweeteners that don’t spike your blood sugar are fine as well.

one vanilla pod

vanilla extract

confectioners erythritol: powdered erythritol

1. Mix the butter & erythritol:
Add the erythritol to the bowl with the butter.
Use a hand mixer to beat the butter with the erythritol until you get a pale and fluffy mixture.

2. Mix the remaining ingredients:
Split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the vanilla seeds with the backside of a knife.
Mix the remaining ingredients except for the confectioners’ erythritol and add the almond mixture to the butter.
Mix well until you get a moist and slightly crumbly dough.

3. Form crescents:
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°F.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and start to form the vanilla crescent cookies:
Take a small part of the dough (approx. 1 tbsp) and form it into a half moon shape.
It may help if you use the parchment paper lined baking tray to press the dough into its shape.
The dough will yield approx. 12-14 cookies, depending on the size of your crescent cookies. (I made 14).

4. Bake in the oven:
Bake in the oven for approx. 10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid burning.

5. Let them cool off and roll in confectioners erythritol:
Set the cookies aside and let them cool off for at least 30 minutes.
Add a bit of confectioners erythritol to a bowl or plate and roll the cooled cookies in the confectioners’ erythritol.
Make sure to be careful when you roll them in the confectioner’s erythritol because they might break easily, especially when they’re still a bit warm.

6. Serve:
Enjoy the keto vanilla crescent cookies with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
