Equipment
- Whisk
- Oven
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 cups / 200g Ground Hazelnuts
- 1 cup / 100g Almond Flour
- ⅓ cup / 60g Lakanto Golden or Sweetener of Your Choice
- 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
- 2.5 teaspoons Ground Ginger
- ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ⅓ cup / 75g Softened Butter
- 1 Egg White
- ½ cup Powdered Erythritol
- 1.5 tablespoons Water or Cream
Instructions
- Stir together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Combine the hazelnut flour, almond flour, Lakanto Golden, spices, and bicarbonate of soda.
- Add the soft butter to the dry mixture. Use an electric whisk to blend until the mixture resembles a crumb texture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg white until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg white into the dough until just combined.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each between two sheets of greaseproof paper. Chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350F / 180C / 160C fan.
- Once chilled, remove the top sheet of greaseproof paper. Use a gingerbread man cutter to cut out shapes from the dough.
- If you have remaining dough, re-roll it and repeat the process until all the dough is used up.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Allow to cool on the tray before lifting them off.
- To make the icing, mix the sweetener with a little water or cream in a small bowl. Decorate the cooled cookies and allow the icing to set for about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Net carbs per cookie: 1.1g. Makes 25 cookies.
- Cookie size: 9 x 7 cm, cookie weight: 20g.
- Sweetener: A brown sugar replacement works well because of its caramel taste, but any granulated sweetener can be used.
- Adjust to taste: Taste the dough before baking. Option to increase sweetener and/or spices to taste!
- Baking time: Watch closely as baking time may vary based on the thickness of the dough and the size of your cookie cutters.
