Almond Flour Sugar Cookies

Resting the dough for a full 30 minutes lets the almond flour fully absorb the wet ingredients, which is what makes it firm enough to roll and cut into shapes instead of sticking to everything.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup allulose
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract

Method

  1. 1

    Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, and salt together.

  2. 2

    Cream dairy-free butter and allulose until fluffy, then beat in egg, vanilla, and almond extract.

  3. 3

    Mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Rest the dough in the fridge for a full 30 minutes — this resting time lets the almond flour fully absorb the wet ingredients, which is what makes the dough firm enough to actually roll out and cut into shapes; skip the rest and it stays too soft and sticky to work with cleanly.

  5. 5

    Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/4-inch thickness, cut into shapes, and bake at 325°F for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just golden.
