Gretchen’s Anisette “Keto” Cookies, By Jeles

INGREDIENTS:

1 stick salted butter, melted

pinch of salt

1/2 cup and 2 tbsp Monkfruit

2 tsp Anise Seeds

2 tsp Pure Anise Extract (I like to taste the dough for the flavor) If you need a little more Anise extract just add another tsp

2 cups Anthony’s Almond flour

1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum

1/3 cup sliced almonds (crush them a little with your hands)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven 350*

Line the Cookie sheet with parchment paper (Do not spray)

Beat the butter, salt, and monkfruit until creamy and fluffy

Add the Anise extract and Anise seeds and mix well

Add the almond flour, xanthan gum beat until its well blended

First divide the dough into 16 balls

Second roll each ball into a 2 inch log

Spread the sliced almonds onto a plate and crush slightly

Roll the logs in the almond pieces and crush the almonds into the dough as you roll and shape them in your hand (making sure that the cookie has almonds inside)

Then pinch the two ends

Place the cookies spaced out (they will grow)

Bake for 18 minutes

Once the 15 minutes or so have passed check the color of the cookies

Take the rack and move it up to the second row from the top

Leave cookies in for 2-3 minutes or until its golden brown

Pull out of the oven, wait about a minute and use the back of your spoon to shape the cookie (you can also use your thumb to make the shape)

Important: Do not place in a bag or cover them wait until they completely cooled

These cookies will have an amazing crunch :)

Once they have harden you can place in a zip lock bag

Note: these will freeze well if you want to make them ahead of time

Enjoy!
