Sugar Free Almond Cookies

 
To make this recipe you can refer to my recipe for how to make sugar free powdered sugar.
It really is the powdered sugar that makes this cookie taste even better.
 

This recipe for sugar free almond cookies is for those of us who are looking for great tasting cookie that we may not see every day.
While sugar free sugar cookies and sugar free chocolate chip cookies are always a winner, sometimes you just have to taste something different. For me, almond cookies are a great choice.

 

You may be wondering how to make your own almond flour for this recipe.

While you can easily buy your own already made Almond Flour, making your own is also an option. This recipe calls for one cup of almond flour which means that you would need just under a cup of blanched almonds
.
To make your own almond flour, I suggest using a food processor that can handle it.
Add a quarter cup of almonds at a time and continue to process until you have reached your goal of one cup. This will most likely be just under a cup of almonds to reach your goal.

 

Baking this recipe for cookies using almond flour differs from all purpose flour.

Obviously, almond flour does not contain wheat in it. As a result, almond flour is gluten free.

Almond flour also makes the cookie a bit different, not in a bad way.
Because it is made from almond, almond flour will provide the cookies with an 'almond' taste. Also, the texture of the cookie may seem a bit different too. I will say that since almond have some fat to them, they will aid in making the cookie less dry and more shelf-life friendly.

 

Here are some tips for baking with almond flour.

I mentioned earlier that this recipe is a gluten free recipe. If you are familiar with gluten free you may be wondering why we are not adding an egg or other kind of a binder to this recipe. Since we are making a cookie instead of a bread for example, we will not need a binder in this recipe.

Here are some more great tips for baking these cookies with almond flour.

  1. Please be sure that you are using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is make from raw almonds, rather than blanched almonds, which can affect the outcome of this recipe.
  2. Almond flour is certainly low in carbohydrates and is gluten free. However, it does have more calories in it than all purpose flour.
  3. I mentioned that almond flour has fat in it which makes whatever it is used in more moist. However, the fat in the almond flour makes it a good candidate for refrigeration as almond flour can go bad sooner than its all purpose counterpart.
  4. To make these cookies we will be rolling scooped cookie dough into balls. If your dough seems sticky, try refrigerating it for 20 minuter or rubbing a bit of oil over your hands.

 

This is a relatively simple recipe for cookies.

But, since we are using both a flour alternative and a sugar alternative to make these, you may need to make a few tweaks in your recipe beyond what is presented in this recipe. This is pretty normal, as I have found, baking with alternatives.

      Hi. The crunchiness of the cookie has a lot to do with the fat (butter) and the flour used. This cookie tends to be a bit softer. Check out this almond cookie recipe for something that is more crunchy. Thanks
