Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar and baking powder. In a separate small bowl, whisk to combine the egg with the melted (and cooled) ghee and the vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the almond flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon to combine the wet and dry mixtures until it comes together to form a cookie dough.
  3. Use a tablespoon to scoop up portion the dough into 8 equal-sized dough balls (approximately 0.9oz [25g] each in weight). Place the dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and gently flatten each to form a cookie shape. Use a fork to gently press into the tops of the cookies to create a decorative design.
  4. Place the baking tray into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the tray after 8 minutes. Remove the baking tray from the oven and let the cookies cool completely before serving.
  5. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.
