COOKIES: CHERRY CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI(click here to print)

CHERRY CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener or other granulated erythritol
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsweetened dried cherries, finely chopped
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 tsp almond extract

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt. Stir in cherries, chocolate and almonds.
Stir in melted butter, egg and almond extract until dough comes together. Turn out onto prepared baking sheet and form into a low, flat log about 10 by 4 inches. Bake 22 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Remove and let cool 30 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 250F. With a sharp knife, gently cut into 15 even slices. Place slices back on cookie sheet, cut-side down and bake 15 minutes. Gently flip each slice, turn off oven and let sit inside until completely cool.
Serves: Makes 15
