Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup erythritol sweetener
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line two baking sheets with silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sweetener until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
  • Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until the mixture is uniform, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the beaters as necessary.
  • Using about 2 teaspoons of dough at a time, roll into small balls and place an inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press down to flatten slightly.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes, switching the position of the pans halfway through baking, until the edges are golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

Notes

– Use room temperature ingredients: This ensures a smooth, well-combined dough and even baking. – Don’t overmix: Once the almond flour is added, mix just until combined to keep the wafers tender. – The cooling trick: Returning the wafers to the turned-off oven after the initial bake helps them crisp up perfectly without over-browning. Keep an eye on them to prevent excessive browning. – Storage: Store cooled wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
