Ingredients

▢ 8.82 oz (250 g) almond flour
▢ 8.46 oz (240 g) powdered sugar

▢ 1.41 oz (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
▢ 2 (60 g) egg whites
▢ 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla bean paste

Instructions

BRUNSLI PREPARATION

In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, mix the almond flour, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon and unsweetened cocoa powder together for 30 seconds.
8.82 oz almond flour, 8.46 oz powdered sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1.41 oz unsweetened cocoa powder
Add the egg whites and vanilla bean paste. Stir on your lowest setting until mostly combined (1 minute) it will be very sticky, that's normal. IMPORTANT: Do not over mix.
2 egg whites, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Scrap the dough onto a cling film. Wrap and refrigerate for 2 1/2 hours.

ASSEMBLY

Take the dough out of the refrigerator.
Place your Large Bonmat on the top of your Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.
Roll your dough into a large square. I like my cookies 0.40" | 1 cm thick. Cut your cookie dough using your favorite holiday cookie cutter.
Transfer your cookie dough onto your Bonmat.

BAKE!

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Bake for 8 minutes (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cookies from 7 minutes). It is ready when they don't look quite done and barely golden around the edge, the top staying soft.
Once your "Brunsli" Gluten Free Christmas Cookies are out of the oven, let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. When ready, slide them onto a serving plate to share or store them in a tin metal box (They stay fresh up to 3 weeks). Bon Appétit & Happy Holidays!
