Hi friends!

I just couldn’t wait any longer to share these gluten-free Almond Flour Butter Cookies with you guys! Aren’t they just so festive for the holidays? I know we’re not even to Thanksgiving yet, but we have officially passed Halloween so that makes it ok in my book! If I do say so myself, these cookies would be the perfect addition to your Christmas cookie trays this holiday season. They’re so easy to make, require just 5 ingredients….plus some chocolate and sprinkles to make them festive if you want to…and the recipe makes only a dozen, so you can make a batch and still have room to whip up all your other holiday favorites as well.

I teamed up with Bob’s Red Mill to share these cookies and I’m just so jazzed about them! Back in August, I used their Gluten-Free Oat Flour and  Golden Flaxseed Meal to make these Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Muffins, which I love, and we use so many of their other products as well! I make their farro every week and use the chia seeds, hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds for mixing into oatmeal, energy balls, and baked goods.

Today I’m introducing you to their Superfine Almond Flour which is perfect for low carb baking! I wanted to try to make at least one low carb cookie this year for my hubby to try.

All Bob’s Red Mill products are minimally processed and Non-GMO and then have hundreds of products to fit specific dietary needs like vegan, paleo or gluten-free. So be sure to check out their website if you haven’t already!

And these cookies don’t have to be exclusive to the holidays! You can enjoy them year-round with a chocolate drizzle or just plain! This recipe calls for softened butter and I’ve found in my testing that whatever your definition of softened is will impact how much these cookies spread so yours might come out the same size as mine or a little smaller.

Here’s the recipe:
