🍪 Ingredients:
► 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (I prefer grass-fed butter; use what works for you. If you only have salted butter you can use it, just omit the added salt.)
► 2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal), spooned and leveled
► 1/4 cup brown sugar (white sugar or any other non-liquid sugar/sweetener works)
► 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (almond extract is nice here, too)
► 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional, if using unsalted butter)
► Optional: Sprinkles of your choice to decorate
► Optional: 1 teaspoon orange zest or lemon zest for flavor (I typically do the sprinkles OR the zest)
For those asking about keto: Omit the sugar and sprinkles to make this a keto-friendly cookie. I do not follow a keto diet, but you can adjust this recipe to be keto-friendly if you’d like.
📋 Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in vanilla extract.
3. Combine almond flour, salt (omit if using salted butter), and optional orange or lemon zest.
4. Press the dough into a uniform mixture, then roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Flatten the dough balls slightly (shape with a cookie cutter, if desired) and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
