How to make Almond Flour Sugar Cookies
Cream
Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and cream them together using an electric hand mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat again.
Mix
Add in all remaining ingredients and mix until the dough is well combined.
Chill
Form the dough into a small disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place the disc in the fridge and chill for a while.
Bake
Preheat your oven and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the cookie dough into balls, pressing them down slightly on the prepared pan. Bake until lightly golden brown, then cool completely on the pan.

How to make these Chewy or Crispy
If you want your cookies to be chewier, press out the dough more before baking, and only bake until they are SLIGHTLY golden brown. If you want a bit more crisp and crunch to your cookies, bake them a bit longer in the oven.
Top Tips for making Almond Flour Sugar Cookies
- Chill The Dough: It may be tempting to roll out and bake your sugar cookies right away, but resist the temptation! It’s important for the texture of the cookies to chill the dough before baking your cookies.
- Cool COMPLETELY: Any cookies made with almond flour are a bit more fragile than those made with all purpose flour. I recommend cooling them COMPLETELY on the pan before indulging in these cookies.
