The Best Spritz Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened (brown butter optional: see video) (or butter flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
- 3/4 cup Natural Sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
DECORATION:
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened (or Kite Hill dairy free cream cheese)
- 1 tablespoon Natural Sweetener
- Few drops of natural food dye if desired to color frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place parchment paper on 2 large baking sheets.
- Place the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.
- OPTIONAL STEP: Use browned butter for an amazing caramel flavor. To make brown butter, place butter in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Whisking often, heat until butter foams up and brown flecks appear. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Place the softened butter in a medium bowl and beat with natural sweetener for a minute. Add the egg, extract and natural food dye if using. Add in the almond flour mixture and stir well to combine.
- Place dough into the Spritz cookie press and turn the handle according to the manufacturers directions to make cookies on the parchment paper.
- Bake for 12 or until cookies are cooked but not turning brown on the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. They will be soft.
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sweetener and food dye. Pipe onto cookies.
