There is something so comforting about a simple sugar cookie, especially when it is made with wholesome ingredients. This recipe is a favorite in my kitchen because it satisfies that sweet tooth without using any refined sugar or processed flour.

Since almond flour keeps these cookies soft and tender, try to handle them gently when they come out of the oven. If you want a little extra sparkle, you can lightly dust them with a tiny bit of coconut sugar before baking.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, then stir until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Scoop tablespoon sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, then gently press each ball down with your palm to flatten them into cookies.

  5. 5

    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden brown.

  6. 6

    Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving, as they firm up significantly while they cool.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For a crunchier texture, you can keep them in the refrigerator, but they taste best when they are slightly softened at room temperature.
