Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temp
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Superfine Almond Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • optional: chocolate chips and sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar and vanilla using an electric mixer for one minute.
  3. Add almond flour, baking powder and salt and mix just until a crumbly dough forms.
  4. Press dough firmly into a Tablespoon and place onto a baking tray.
  5. Flatten each cookie using the tines of a fork to make a criss-cross pattern.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 9-10 minutes. Let sit for at least 10 minutes on baking tray before transferring to a cooling rack. These cookies are fragile.
  7. Let cool completely, then drizzle with melted chocolate chips and sprinkles if desired.

Notes

How soft your butter is will impact how much your cookies spread out. I’ve found it works best to let the butter come to soft at room temperature on it’s own versus microwaving to soften.
