  • 1 cup Erythritol or Stevia blend
  • 1 Egg large

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and erythritol until light, then beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Divide the dough, flatten into discs, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), then roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes.
  6. Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden; cool before decorating.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is truly softened before creaming. The dough can be chilled for up to 2 days.
