Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozAlmond flour - see * Note
3/4 cup 82g / 2.9ozAtkins Bake Mix
1 cup 198g / 7ozGranular sugar substitute
1   Egg
1   Egg yolk
1 teaspoon 5mlVanilla extract
4 tablespoons 60mlButter - softened

Recipe Instructions

* Note: To make almond flour, process sliced or chopped peeled, blanched almonds in short, fast pulses, until a flour is created. Do not process beyond this point, as you'll end up with almond butter.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk almond flour, bake mix and sugar substitute. In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat egg and egg yolk, vanilla and butter until well incorporated (mixture will not attain a smooth consistency). Beat in flour mixture just until combined.

Form dough into 24 small balls; arrange on a baking sheet 1 apart. Lightly flatten them with a fork to silver dollar size. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Cool on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack.

This recipe yields 24 cookies.
