Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C electric (180C fan) / 390 Fahrenheit.
  • Place the shredded mozzarella in heat-proof bowl and heat in the microwave on high for one minute. Remove, stir with a spatula and heat for a further 30 seconds until melted. (Or warm in a non-stick pan on the stove).
  • Add the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, erythritol and optional vanilla extract and mix to form a dough. Stir with a spatula and then knead with hands until fully combined.
  • Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and then fold over the edges and re-roll into a rectangle.
  • Mix the cinnamon and erythritol in a separate bowl. Brush the dough with ½ of the melted butter and sprinkle with ½ of the erythritol / cinnamon mix.
  • Fold the dough in half so the snickerdoodle mix is in the middle. (You may need to rewarm the dough at this point for 20 - 30 seconds in the microwave on the greaseproof paper to help loosen it up to cut and twist.) Trim the edges to form a rectangle. Cut into strips about 3 - 3.5 cm wide and twist in the middle once.
  • Place the twists on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with the rest of the butter and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon / erythritol mix.
  • Bake 11 - 15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Notes

Makes 11 snickerdoodle twists (circa 12 cm long). 1.7g net carbs per cookie.
Don’t be tempted to overcook. They will crisp up when cooled.
It's best to use the pre-shredded mozzarella you can buy in supermarkets. Don't use the white, soft mozzarella you'd normally put in Italian salads. It contains too much moisture.  
Storage: room temperature for 1 day or fridge for up to 4 days.
Suitable for freezing. To reheat, cook in the oven straight from frozen for around 7 minutes.
