Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 4 oz pork sausage
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup green peppers, chopped
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (divided into 1/2 cup and remaining 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Cook sausage and vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork sausage, chopped onions, and green peppers and sauté until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder thoroughly. This makes the base for your cookie dough.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup) to the eggs and mix well. Pour this egg and cheese mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Combine sausage mixture: Once the sausage and vegetable mixture has cooled, add it to the dough. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed and evenly distributed.
- Form cookies: Using a large spoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, forming cookie shapes. The dough will be sticky so using the spoon to flatten them slightly works best.
- Add final cheese topping: Gently press each cookie down to flatten them a little. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup) on top of each cookie for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and the cookies are cooked through. Oven times may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them.
- Cool and store: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container or a freezer-safe ziplock bag in the refrigerator or freezer for later enjoyment.
Notes
- The dough will be sticky; using a spoon to handle and flatten helps form the cookies.
- Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so monitor closely to prevent overcooking.
- These cookies can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to add herbs like chives or parsley to enhance flavor.
