Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup arrowroot starch
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, almond extract, and salt. Stir well until the batter looks uniform.
- For cut-out cookies, place the bowl of dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. (Sometimes I skip this step, and it still turns out okay if you're in a hurry. Just keep in mind the dough will be more fragile to work with.)
- Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it out. I like my cookies to be on the thicker side, about a 1/4-inch thick, but you'll get crispier cookies (and more of them) if you make the dough thinner. It's up to you!
- Press your favorite cookie cutters into the dough, then carefully remove the excess. Transfer the cut-out shapes to the lined baking sheet. Squish the remaining dough together, roll it out again, and repeat the cut-out process until you've used it all.
- Bake the cookies at 350ºF for 8 to 10 minutes. The shorter baking time will produce cookies with a softer center. Let them cool completely on the pan to allow them to firm up. Once the cookies are cool, you can frost them with your favorite icing. (There's a simple powdered sugar option in the notes below.)
- Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. They will soften when left at room temperature, so store them in the fridge or freezer for a firmer cookie.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 16 cookies. If you get more cookies from the batch, they will have fewer calories. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Simple Powdered Sugar Frosting: Combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of water in a medium bowl. Stir well, and add another teaspoon of water, if needed to thin the texture even more. Spread the frosting on cooled cookies, then let them dry on a cooling rack.
