Peggy says
I have a couple of questions that I could not find the answer to from any of the posts. Do you use the regular blade in the food processor? And if it doesn’t form dough ball do you add another egg?
Thanks
Elana says
Peggy, thanks for your comment! I use the metal blade in the food processor. We make these every week and the dough forms a ball. Keep pulsing until you get one, I would not recommend adding another egg, as I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure what that would do to the recipe :-)
Peggy says
Hi Elana,
Thank you for replying. I’m going to try the recipe again tomorrow with my new food processor (the one you recommend). Think my old food processor was partly to blame, as I was experiencing issues with other recipes too. Used new processor for another recipe and had successful results. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Wondering too if you place parchment directly on oven rack. Recipe doesn’t mention cookie sheet or pan.
Elana says
Peggy, thanks for your lovely comment! Step 5 of the recipe states: Transfer bottom piece of parchment paper with rolled out dough onto baking sheet. If you click the green text that says “baking sheet” you will see the exact one I use :-)
Antoinette says
Hi Peggy,
I ran into the problem of the dough not forming also, since we raise our own chickens, and egg size varies greatly. I found the addition of a tiny amount of water invaluable in dough formation. Hope this helps. :-)
Peggy says
Hi Antoinette – thank you will try the water if it happens again. I’m making these again tomorrow, and will try adding tiny bit of water if it doesn’t form into ball.
berneda says
Can’t wait to make them. How do you store them and for how long?
Elana says
Berneda, they’re one of our favorites! I keep them out on the counter for a couple of days and If they last longer than that, I store them in a glass mason jar in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks :-)
Kate says
Hi!
These sound delicious but my auntie is allergic to nuts. Is there any way i could make these without almond flour?
Thanks
Kate x
Kate says
Sorry! also is it 350°F or 350°C?
i really want to make these so i just had to ask a couple of questions!
Thanks again
Kate x ;-)
p.s. they look delish!!
Elana says
Hi Kate, no problem! It’s 350F :-)
Elana says
Hi Kate, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Nut-Free Recipes page for you:

kimberly cooper says

Elana says
Kimberly, just a quick link so that folks know that almond flour and coconut flour are not easily interchangeable in my recipes:

Denise says
HI Kate …. I have ground up pumpkin and sunflower seed into a meal / flour and made these they tuned out great
Jinny says
I made these yesterday but instead of 2″ squares, I cut them closer to the size of Wheat Thins. So Good! As I rolled them out really thin, I cut off the edges to get squares then I would take the extra and keep rolling out until all of my edges were used up so I got around 60 crackers. I did have to watch and cook a little longer to get them a little crunchier so they did get a little darker than I expected but still amazing! Especially with some Chicken Liver Pate! ;-)
Thank you for adding to my crunchy keto options!
Elana says
You’re welcome Jinny!
Rebecca says
Hi Elana, thanks so much for this recipe. These crackers are SO good. I baked them on the parchment paper directly on the oven rack. Most of them burned after only about 8 minutes in the oven. I was able to salvage a few at the center. Did I do something wrong? I was thinking maybe I rolled them out too thin. Do you have any advice? Because I will definitely try again!
Misa says
Put the parchment paper on a cookie sheet. The heat from the element is too hot to not use a cookie sheet.
Joyce says
Hi Elana,
This recipe sounds great. Could I add grated raw onion to this? For Rosh Hashanah I usually make sibla kichels (onion cookies) but since we have just started doing Paleo the regular ones are out. When I saw this recipe I thought “hmmm, maybe”. I know the onion will add a lot of moisture. Can I just add more almond meal until I get a rollable dough or do I have to increase the eggs also? Thanks for your help. Joyce
Elana says
Hi Joyce, I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you do please let us know if it works. Chag Samaech!
Rachelle says
Hi Joyce, why not just try dehydrated onion pieces or simple granulated onion powder? You’ll get the flavor but not the moisture… sounds tasty! : )
Pat says
Can I use coconut or tigernut flour instead?
Elana says
Pat, here’s a post on paleo baking that discusses substitutions such as this:

I hope this helps!
Elana
Kathy says
Could aquafaba be subsituted for the egg in this recipe? Anyone try this substitution?
Elana says
Kathy, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Egg-Free Recipes page for you:

Enjoy!

Lea says
Hi Elana
How do you measure your almond flour? Like normal flour or packed in tight?
Thanks
Lea
Elana says
Lea, we measure almond flour using the “dip and sweep method.” For more info see my Almond Flour page:

Happy baking!

Nancy says
These crackers are delicious! Since I’m so lousy at cutting anything straight I cut them out with a 2 in. scalloped biscuit cutter. They do look like store bought. I’m having them with chopped liver for Passover tonight but my traditional Jewish husband is having Yehuda GF Matzo. I can’t bring myself to eat that stuff!
Also, someone was asking about storage. I put them in a plastic container after they were completely cooled and put them in the freezer, worked great! They thawed out as crispy as they were before freezing.
Thanks for all your great recipes and Happy Passover!
Elana says
You’re welcome Nancy, and Happy Passover!
Kathy says
Where did you find your scalloped biscuit cutter? Thanks!
