Ingredients
Method
- Beat the butter and sweetener with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat on low just until combined, about 30 seconds.
- Mix in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms, about 1 minute.
- Shape the dough into a 2‑inch‑wide log, wrap tightly, and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice the log into ¼‑inch rounds and bake on a parchment‑lined sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Dust with powdered sweetener if you like.
Notes
If you want a slightly sweeter cookie, increase the sweetener to ¾ cup, but the dough may spread a touch more. For slice‑and‑bake logs, chill overnight for the cleanest cuts. The 5‑minute rest on the hot pan is important; it finishes setting the centers.
