Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups almond flour
  • 0.5 cup butter softened
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
  2. Stir in almond flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
  3. Chill the dough for 30 minutes, then roll out between two sheets of parchment.
  4. Cut into shapes and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just golden.
  6. Cool completely before decorating with icing.

Notes

Chilling is non-negotiable — warm almond flour dough spreads.
