In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to form. Stop adding water once the dough starts to clump together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, form it into a ball, and then flatten it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to make the filling.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick, forming a rectangular shape.
Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Gently roll the dough from one of the long sides to form a log. Seal the edges by pinching the seams together.
Slice the rolled dough into 2-inch pieces and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the tops with a little almond milk and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
