Almond Flour Sugar Cookies

These Almond Flour Sugar Cookies are softly crisp around the corners and gentle in the center. I enjoy that they are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and Paleo. Almond flour is naturally grain-free and gluten-free, and it contains more nutrients than regular white flour. That is to say, these cookies will actually satisfy you! If you can’t find store-bought almond flour, it’s also simple to make your own. For this recipe, I recommend using blanched almond flour, which means the skins of the almonds were removed before grinding. This results in a lighter, butter cookie.

However, if you can only find an almond meal (with brown flecks), that will also work. In that case, the cookies will be slightly denser and cake-like. These are perfect for any holiday, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. You can make Shamrock Cookies with the recipe. Cut your desired cookie shape. They are not difficult to make. This sugar cookie will love your family even your kids. I rounded up some tips to make your sugar cookies decadent in a simple way.

How To Make The Best Almond Flour Sugar Cookies

Make the best sugar cookies with these extra tips and reminders;

For the best results, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
The cookies should not be overbaked because they will continue to cook as they cool.
After using the cookie cutter, do not throw away any leftover dough. Simply reshape the dough into a ball and roll it out again. Carry on in this manner until there is no more dough.

How To Store Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies

To store, keep leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. They will keep for two weeks if you don’t frost them.
To freeze cookies, place them in a ziplock bag and keep them frozen for up to 6 months.
