Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the almond flour, coconut flour, chopped pecans, salt, vanilla extract, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
- Add the Swerve brown and the egg to the mixture. Beat with a hand mixer for about 2-3 minutes until the dough forms.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can toast the chopped pecans before adding them to the dough. Use a flax egg to make vegan.
