Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Whisk the coconut flour, almond flour, 1 tsp cinnamon and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. 0:25
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, 1/2 cup Swerve and the egg with a hand mixer until smooth. 1:25
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture with a spatula until it comes together into a ball of dough. Chill for about 30 minutes. 2:13
  4. Heat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Mix the 1/4 cup Swerve and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl for the coating. 2:35
  5. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll each in the cinnamon coating, set on a lined tray and flatten into rounds with the bottom of a glass. 3:02
  6. Sprinkle with a little more coating and bake about 8 minutes. Let them firm up on the tray, then dust with any leftover coating. 3:50

Tip. Monk fruit works in place of Swerve, as the cook says. His article and nutrition are for 24 tablespoon-sized cookies (the card says 20). They are soft when hot and firm up as they cool on the tray.

Vitamin E Source18%

2.7 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (95%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Show the other 14
Magnesium7%

28 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (97%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Vitamin A4%

35 µg a serve, mostly from salted butter (91%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Zinc3%

0.4 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (88%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Potassium2%

80 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (87%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Calcium2%

31 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (86%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron2%

0.4 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (86%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Selenium2%

1.2 µg a serve, mostly from egg (53%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Folate1%

5.6 µg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (78%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B121%

0 µg a serve, mostly from egg (74%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from blanched almond flour (75%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Omega-31%

0 g a serve, mostly from salted butter (91%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin C0%

0 mg a serve, mostly from ground cinnamon (60%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin D0%

0 µg a serve, mostly from egg (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K0%

0.4 µg a serve, mostly from salted butter (82%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
