Ingredients
-
1 cup butter
1/2 cup xylitol (powdered)
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Directions
Before beginning, make the xylitol into "powdered sugar" by processing it in the blender for 30-60 seconds. If it doesn't seem to get powdered, add 1 tsp corn starch and blend again - let it rest before trying to remove it from the blender.
Combine butter, vanilla, and 1/2 cup "powdered" xylitol in a large mixing bowl. Add flour and salt. Mix thoroughly. Mix in nuts.
Form dough into 1" balls and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool slightly and then dust with more powdered xylitol. Store in an airtight container.
Serving Size: Makes 40 1" cookies
