Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Blanched sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms.
If the dough is too sticky, cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter and place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each pastry.
Brush the tops of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with blanched sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful treat.
