On the Third Days of Cookies

In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, nutmeg, and baking powder.

In a large bowl,  or mixer to beat the butter and swerve for 1-2 minutes, until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix in the almond flour mixture until a dough forms.

Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to bake.

Preheat the to 350 degrees F.Spray a cookie sheet to my favorite use a silicone baking mat. 

Place the ball of dough between two large pieces of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roll out to 1/4 in thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out cookie shapes and transfer them to the baking sheet. When you’ve cut out all the shapes you can, re-form the remaining dough into a ball, roll it out again, and repeat, until you’ve used up all the dough.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden on the edges. Cool on the cookie sheet before handling or frosting.

Optional step: If you want to frost and decorate!
