Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated sugar, xylitol, and salt. Add in softened butter and mix until a dough forms.
Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or a glass.
Place cookies on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cookies are cool, drizzle with melted chocolate (if desired) and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.

Chef Sofia Rossi’s Crisping & Macro Notes

To ensure a crunchy exterior and a tender interior, bake cookies for the exact recommended time. If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for 8-9 minutes. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
