Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this.
- Add Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the almond flour and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Incorporate Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball down with the back of a fork or your fingers to flatten them slightly.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Dusting: If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered erythritol for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is fully softened for the best texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
