2⅛ cups | Almond Flour, partially de-oiled | |
1 cup 1 tbsp | Almonds, ground | |
⅝ cup 3½ tsp | Xylitol, Birch Sugar, granulated | |
1 tsp | Carob Flour, Locust Bean Gum | |
¾ cup 2 tsp | Butter, unsalted | |

3 drops | Rum Aroma | |
2 tbsp | Cocoa powder, unsweetened | |
24.45 oz | altogether (view nutrition facts) |
Preparation
- Serving size:0.41 oz (calculated)Notes: 1 cookie with a diameter of about 1 1/2 in (3.75 cm) and a thickness of about 3/8 in (1 cm)
- Temperature: 356 °F
- In a bowl, mix the almond flour, ground almonds, xylitol and carob flour.
- Dice the cold butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Knead until you get a crumbly dough.
- Add the egg and continue to knead until the dough comes together.
- Now divide the dough in half.
- Add the rum aroma to one half and knead it in.
- To the other half, add the cocoa powder and knead until all the powder is mixed in.
- Wrap each portion in cling film and rest in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Roll each dough to a thickness of about 1/5 in (5 mm).
- Cut rectangles from it where one side is about 4 in (10 cm) long.
- Layer the dark dough onto the light dough. I like to roll out the light dough slightly thinner and cut the dark dough a bit shorter, perhaps 3 1/2 in (9 cm) instead of 4 in.
- Roll the sheets of dough tightly. For an in my opinion nicer swirl, I roll the extra section of light dough on top of the dark dough before rolling the rest. This avoids the cookies having a quite large, dark center.
- Wrap in cling film and press them together until the roll has a diameter of about 1 1/2 in (3.75 cm). This helps combine the two doughs, so that they do not separate.
- Roll the dough, so that it has a round shape again.
- Chill in the fridge for at least half an hour, so that it firms up. You can also put it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Cut the roll into slices with a thickness of about 3/8 in (1 cm).
- Put them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges start to brown.
- Let cool completely and enjoy.
