With a delicious almond flavor, a hint of cinnamon and lemon, these are incredible! They use erythritol instead of sugar and are low in fat.

Steps

1+ hour

1

Mix the flours and toast them in a skillet, stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes. Remove and toast the chopped almonds until golden brown.
2

Combine the flours with the baking powder and sift (optional). Add the chopped almonds, lemon zest, cinnamon, and erythritol.
3

Gradually add the room temperature butter until a firm dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 1/2 to 2/3 inch thick (1 to 1.5 cm). Cut out the polvorones with a round cookie cutter or a glass. You can also divide the dough into 10 pieces and shape as desired.
5

Place the sesame seeds on a plate and dip the top of each polvorón in them. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, dust with powdered erythritol.
