3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
4 TBS Swerve
1-2 TBS WATER or almond milk (just enough to hold dough together)
Cinnamon (for dusting)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the whey, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the butter lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the almond milk or water and sweetener to form a stiff dough. On parchment paper (lightly sprayed with olive oil spray), roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Dust with cinnamon. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto cookie sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Makes 8 servings.
