Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar until thoroughly combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond butter until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a cohesive dough forms. The dough should be soft but not overly sticky.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a cookie shape. Press a few sliced almonds into the top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Low Fat Almond Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee! Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
