almonds and almond flour

Almonds and blanched almond flour.

This recipe uses blanched almond flour.  You can either make your own or use raw almonds that are quickly balanced to loosen the skins.  Or you can buy your favorite almond flour and use that instead.  

Using powdered Monk fruit sweetener, vanilla, and almond extract (essence), this is such a simple and quick recipe. What you get is a delicious soft-baked almond cookie that goes great with coffee or tea.

Notes

You can omit the egg wash, which will keep the color of the blanched almond flour. If you add the egg wash then it gives a yellowish hue.
