Preparation
- Serving size:1.16 oz (calculated)Notes: 1 stacked cookie with a diameter of about 3 in (7.5 cm) and a height of about 1 in (2.5 cm)
- Temperature: 320 °F
- Whisk the softened butter with the egg.
- Scrape out the vanilla pulp and add it to the mix.
- Mix the almond flour, granulated xylitol, baking powder and carob flour.
- Add to the butter and egg mix and knead with your hands to a dough.
- You will have to knead it a couple of minutes until the dough is not crumbly anymore.
- Wrap in cling film and rest in the fridge for 2 hours. You can also leave it in the fridge overnight.
- Take a portion of the dough and roll it out. Keep the remaining dough in the fridge.
- If the dough breaks while rolling, knead it a bit to slightly warm and soften it. If the dough is too sticky, return it to the fridge or even the freezer for some minutes.
- Cut out stars in three different sizes. You can of course also pick a different shape.
- Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges begin to brown.
- Warm about 2 tablespoons of your favorite sugar-free jam. I like to use the microwave: 30 seconds at 600 Watts works for me.
- Stroke some jam on the back of a medium-sized cookie and put it on a large cookie. Then do the same with a small one, stacking it on the medium-sized one.
- Do the same with the remaining cookies.
- Dust with some powdered xylitol.
- Let dry for at least an hour, so that the jam dries and glues the stack of cookies together securely.
