# List of Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups blanched almond flour
02 - 1/4 cup coconut flour
03 - 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 1/2 cup smooth unsweetened hazelnut butter
07 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Vanilla Hazelnut Drizzle

10 - 2 tablespoons hazelnut butter
11 - 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
12 - 2 to 3 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk
13 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Step-by-step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and fine sea salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, combine the hazelnut butter, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each portion with your palm or the back of a spoon.
06 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk together the hazelnut butter, powdered erythritol, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Add additional almond milk, one teaspoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is needed.
08 - Drizzle the mixture over the fully cooled cookies. Allow the drizzle to set for 10 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The hazelnut butter does all the heavy lifting, delivering a rich, nutty flavor that tastes genuinely indulgent without a single gram of sugar.
  • Each cookie clocks in at just one net carb, so you can honestly eat three without a second thought.
  • The vanilla drizzle hardens into a delicate shell that makes every cookie feel like something from a professional bakery case.
02 -
  • These cookies are extremely delicate straight out of the oven, so resist every urge to move them before the 10 minute rest or they will crumble in your hands.
  • The drizzle thickness depends entirely on your hazelnut butter brand, so adjust almond milk one tiny drop at a time to avoid thinning it too far.
  • Erythritol can sometimes create a slight cooling sensation on the tongue, which is normal and not a sign that anything went wrong.
03 -
  • Measure the coconut flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off, never packing it, because even a small excess turns the dough dry and crumbly.
  • If your kitchen is warm and the dough feels too sticky to shape, pop the bowl in the fridge for ten minutes and it firms right up.
