Recipe Ingredients

For The Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
• 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
• 1/3 cup Brown Monk Fruit Sweetener
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For The Toffee Crunch

• 1/4 cup Allulose
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
• 1/4 cup Chopped Pecans
• 1/4 tsp Salt

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cook allulose, butter, and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring until golden and thickened.

Step 3

Stir chopped pecans and salt into the toffee mixture, then spread it thinly on parchment paper. Chill until firm and break into small pieces.

Step 4

Stir almond flour, coconut flour, brown monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Step 5

Add softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms, then fold in the toffee crunch pieces.

Step 6

Scoop 12 cookies onto the baking sheet and flatten lightly.

Step 7

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool on the baking sheet so the toffee pieces set back up.

Tips

Watch the Toffee Color Closely

Allulose browns much faster than regular sugar, so keep your eyes on the pan the whole time it cooks. From my experience, it can go from golden to too dark in under a minute.

You want it to turn a warm amber color and get a little thick, which usually happens right around the 4 to 5 minute mark. Pull it off the heat as soon as you see that golden shade so it stays sweet and doesn’t turn bitter.

Spread the Toffee Really Thin

When you pour the toffee mix onto the parchment, spread it out as thin as you can with the back of a spoon. Thin toffee gets crisp and breaks into clean little pieces that mix nicely into the dough.

If you leave it in a thick blob, the center stays soft and chewy instead of crunchy. You’ll get the best results if the layer is about as thin as a coin.

Chill the Toffee Until Fully Firm

Don’t rush this part. The toffee needs to sit in the fridge until it’s completely hard, which takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

If you try to break it while it’s still a little soft, it will bend and stick together instead of snapping into pieces. Once it’s firm, it breaks apart easily and gives you those nice crunchy bits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my toffee crunch staying soft instead of firming up?

Allulose stays a little softer than regular sugar toffee, so it may not get rock hard, and that is normal for this recipe.

Chilling it in the fridge helps a lot, so give it plenty of time to cool until firm before you separate it into small pieces.
