Ingredients
- 1 Cup oat flour sifted (3.2 oz) (gluten free if needed)
- 3 Tbsp Non-GMO Cornstarch
- 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 Cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 Cup butter softened to room temperature
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Don't just use cooking spray, your cookies will stick.
- In a small bowl stir, together the oat flour, cornstarch and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Place the coconut sugar into a high powder blender and blend until fine and powdery, similar to powdered sugar.
- Beat the powdered coconut sugar and butter in a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, until combined. Add in the vanilla and almond extract and beat on the highest speed of the mixer for 5* minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. You want the butter nice and fluffy.
- Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture a little at a time until fully mixed in. Beat at high speed for an additional 5 minutes. The texture should be that of frosting.
- Transfer the dough into a pastry bag and press out onto the prepared baking sheet in balls about 1 1/2 Tbsp tall, only flattening slightly. You want the dough to remain in a ball shape and be taller than it is wide.
- Bake until just golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the pan 10 minutes and then (VERY GENTLY) transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes
- *If you double the recipe, make sure to do each whipping for a little longer - closer to 8 minutes for the butter and then for the flour.
