**Sugar-Free Flax Seed Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
– 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener of your choice (such as erythritol or stevia)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional: sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flax seeds, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of water or almond milk to help bind it together.
5. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into evenly sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use your fingers or a fork to gently press down on each ball to flatten them slightly.
6. If desired, top each cookie with sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. These cookies also freeze well for longer storage.
