Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts to the wet ingredients.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Carefully fold in the sliced almonds, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten each scoop of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free almond cookies!
