Description
Soft and tender almond flour sugar cookies with lightly crisp edges and a delicate buttery flavor. Naturally gluten-free and made with simple pantry ingredients, these cookies are easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the almond flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if rolling and cutting into shapes.
- Add a pinch of almond extract for extra nutty flavor.
- Mix in sprinkles, citrus zest, sliced almonds, or dark chocolate chips for variation.
- Cookies may seem delicate when warm but will firm up as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
