Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 175°C.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup erythritol, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom. Mix these dry ingredients together.
3. 3Add the 1/2 cup butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.
4. 4Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
5. 5In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup almond butter, 2 tablespoons erythritol (for filling), and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract to create your filling.
6. 6Take about 1 tablespoon of the dough mixture and flatten it into a small disc in the palm of your hand. Place about 1 teaspoon of the almond butter filling in the center of the disc.
7. 7Carefully bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside, then gently roll the dough into a ball or shape it as desired.
8. 8Place the formed bites onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one.
9. 9Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bites are lightly golden brown.
10. 10Allow the bites to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This helps them firm up.
