This method delivers a “steakhouse-quality” rich texture with an “unbelievable” natural crunch.
Ingredients
• The “Magic” Base: 2 1/4 cups Super-Fine Almond Flour (to replace the 2 cups of all-purpose flour).
• The “Velvety” Binder: 1 cup Grass-fed Butter, softened.
• The Sweetener: 3/4 cup Powdered Monk Fruit or Erythritol.
• The Infusions: 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries (sugar-free) and 1/2 cup Shelled Pistachios, roughly chopped for that professional “wow” look.
• The Aromatic: 1 tsp Vanilla Extract and a tiny pinch of sea salt.
Preparation Steps
1. The Cream: In a large glass bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sweetener until the mixture is “velvety” and smooth.
2. The Fold: Stir in the vanilla, then gradually add the almond flour. The dough will look “bakery-perfect” and thick.
3. The “Treasure” Mix: Gently fold in the cranberries and pistachios until they are evenly distributed, exactly like the artistic stack in your picture.
4. The Log: Form the dough into a 2-inch wide log, wrap it in parchment paper, and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This is the “secret” to getting those professional, clean edges when you slice.
5. The Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet.
6. The Reveal: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges are a “steakhouse-quality” pale gold. Let them cool completely on the tray to set—they will be “unbelievable” and crisp!
