Time 45m

Yield 15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3/4 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon erythritol (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk together the butter, vanilla and eggs in a small bowl to combine.
  • Whisk together the almond and coconut flours, cocoa powder, salt, cream of tartar, cayenne, baking soda, 1/2 cup of the erythritol and 1 1/4 teaspoons of the cinnamon in a large bowl until combined. Using a handheld mixer, beat the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. The dough will appear crumbly but will come together when molded by hand.
  • Using your hands, form the dough into heaping tablespoon balls and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet; the cookies will not spread much while baking. Gently press down on each cookie with the palm of your hand.
  • Mix together the remaining 1/4 teaspoon erythritol and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the cookies. Bake until firm and beginning to crack on top, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
