Gluten Free + Keto Valentine’s Day Cookies

What’s better than a box of choccies for Valentine’s Day? The sweetest, gluten-free heart cookies with KETO jam!

This recipe was created especially for Alive by Alive Tribe Member Marci – there’s a reel to go with it here!

Now depending on the size of your cutters, this recipe can definitely make enough to treat yourself and gift a loved one 🙂

 

TIME SERVES DIFFICULTY
1hr + 2 hrs min resting time It depends if you want to share ;

INGREDIENTS

210gr of GF flour (Marci used a mixture of buckwheat, coconut flour and rice flour)

70gr of palm sugar

140 gr butter (use cold from fridge, cut into small pieces)

2 organic egg yolks

Vanilla from one vanilla pod

Lemon zest from one lemon

METHOD

Mix all together (with your hands if you can) to make a paste (dough) and let rest in the fridge ideally overnight (or at least 2 hrs). Use flour on your bench-top and hands to prevent sticking.

After the dough has set in the fridge, roll it out with a rolling pin, again using flour to prevent sticking on your bench top, hands and rolling pin.

Once smooth, cut the cookies into shapes using cutters of choice (Marci used round cutters and small hearts to place on top).

Bake in a fan forced oven at 200°C for around 15 minutes or until lightly golden.

Let them down, before assembling the layers together with a layer of KETO jam. Let rest in the fridge for a bit.
