Almond Flour Frosted Sugar Cookies
For the cookies
2 cups blanched almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened (or use butter instead)
1/4 cup raw honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the frosting
2 tablespoons coconut oil, softened
2 tablespoons raw honey
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch of fine sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cookie
ingredients until a thick, creamy batter is
formed. If the dough seems dry, add a little bit of maple syrup to
make it creamier.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge
Using a cookie scoop, drop the batter by rounded
tablespoons onto a baking sheet, lined with a
Silpat or parchment paper. Press each bit of dough flat
and then cut into desired shape with cookie cutters.
Bake for about 8 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then
transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, simply cream together the
coconut oil, honey, almond extract and salt
until well combined. If the coconut oil starts to melt (it melts
at temperatures above 76 degrees), briefly place
the mixture in the fridge to help it set.
Frost the cooled cookies, and let them set in
the fridge for a more solid-frosting.
Yields 24.
