Keto Vegan Sugar Cookie Cut Outs
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine the plant butter, xanthan gum, and powdered sweetener in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Add in the almond flour, salt, extract, and baking powder. Beat for another 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. With gluten-free cookies, it is better to err on the side of more mixed so the cookies are not as dense.
Step 3
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap into a disk shape. Chill the dough in the refrigerator until very firm. From this point on, you will want to make sure the dough stays as chilled as possible.
Step 4
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Unwrap it and place it between two flat pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough to a ¼” thickness. Then, place the rolled dough into the freezer and chill until firm. Once firm, use a cookie cutter of choice to cut the dough into shapes. We used a 3” cookie cutter.
Step 5
Bake the cookies immediately since they are still chilled at this point. Bake the cookies for 5-6 minutes or until they have just puffed and are very lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheet before removing them. Cooling on the baking sheet will allow them to cook longer in a gentle fashion.
