Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and continue to mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until a dough forms.
Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
