Description

If youve never baked gluten free, these cookies are a great treat to help you get your feet wet. The dough is easily stirred together by hand in just a couple of minutes, and guarantees a tender, crisp, buttery cookie.

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons softened butter
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl until a cohesive dough forms. Scoop 1 balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet; a teaspoon cookie scoop works well here. Arrange the balls of dough about 1 1/2 to 2 apart. Use a fork to flatten each cookie to about 1/4 thick, making a crosshatch design. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until they start to turn light golden brown on top. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a rack to cool completely before serving.
