Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with the wrapper from the butter.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, xanthan gum (or cornstarch), and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
3
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, monk fruit sweetener (or your preferred sweetener), vanilla extract, and eggs using a hand mixer until creamy and well-combined.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture while mixing on low speed. Continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
5
For the cinnamon-sugar coating, in a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and monk fruit sweetener. Set aside.
6
Using your hands, roll the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls and then coat each ball with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
7
Place the coated cookie balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, slightly flattening each ball with your fingers.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
