Ingredients
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/4 cup erythritol (or your favorite low-carb sweetener)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Zest of 1 lemon (optional for added flavor)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk or electric mixer
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– Cookie scoop or spoon
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is so crucial because having a hot oven ready to go ensures that the cookies bake evenly. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, erythritol, and eggs until they’re smooth and well blended. The texture of the ricotta combined with the sweetener is just heavenly and brings back fond memories of baking with my grandma. Once it’s all mixed up, add in the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until no dry ingredients remain. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
