Paleo Sugar Cookies
Paleo Sugar Cookies combine almond flour, coconut flour, and maple syrup to create a soft, slightly tender cookie dough that's chilled for ease of handling. Rolled to half an inch thick and cut into shapes, these cookies bake quickly to a delicate texture. The recipe yields cut-out sugar cookies that are softer than traditional versions due to almond flour, and they can be dusted with confectioner's sugar after cooling for extra sweetness.

Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 tbsp grass fed butter melted, or ghee
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- First, add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid and mix until dough is formed.
- Next, form dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Remove dough from fridge and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll dough out to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Remove top sheet of parchment paper. Using cookie cut outs, cut out dough. Place cookies on baking sheet.
- Continue this process until the dough is used up.
- Next, bake for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on size and shape of cookies.
- Remove pan from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Finally, once cooled completely, dust with confectioner's sugar if desired.

Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully incorporated to avoid clumps in the dough for smooth rolling.
- Refrigerate the dough at least 20 minutes or longer to make cutting the cookies easier.
- These cookies are softer than traditional sugar cookies due to the almond flour used.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days to maintain freshness.
