Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to gently flatten each dollop of dough into a small, round wafer shape.
Bake the wafers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the wafers to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
