The Most Tender Dolls

The Most Tender Dolls

Ingredients

For the base:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred sweetener)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the decoration:

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free royal icing or melted white chocolate
  • Natural food coloring (optional)
  • Edible decorations (such as sugar-free sprinkles, edible glitter, or tiny sugar-free candies)

 

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered erythritol until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape the dolls: Roll the dough into small balls or gently shape them into doll-like figures (think simple round heads and bodies). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Let them cool completely before decorating.
  4. Decorate: Prepare your sugar-free icing or melt the white chocolate. Divide into small bowls and color as desired with natural food coloring. Use a piping bag or a small spoon to decorate the cookies. Add eyes, mouths, or other features to give them a doll-like appearance. Sprinkle with sugar-free decorations for extra charm.
  5. Set and serve: Allow the decorations to set before serving. Enjoy these tender, whimsical treats with a cup of tea or coffee.
