Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Silicone Mat
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Medium Bowl
  • Cooling Rack
  • Airtight Container

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup pecans
  • 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour (measured correctly - spoon & sweep method)
  • 1 cup unsalted grass-fed butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened almond milk (plus more as needed)
  • powdered monk fruit sweetener (for coating)

Instructions
 

  • Add your pecans to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
  • Next, combine the almond flour and softened butter with the pecan crumbs in the processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together.
  • Slowly add the powdered monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process until the dough forms a ball. If the dough seems too dry, add almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it sticks together.
  • Remove the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • While your dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Once chilled, roll the dough into 2-tablespoon sized balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the bottoms are just slightly golden. Rotate the pans halfway through for even baking, and be careful not to over-bake to keep them tender.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking pan for about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, sift 1/2 cup of powdered sweetener into a medium bowl. While still warm, gently roll the cookies in the powdered sweetener.
  • Transfer the coated cookies to a cooling rack. Once completely cool, you can roll them in powdered sweetener again for an extra layer, if desired.
  • Store these delightful cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to one month.
