Almond flour sugar cookies that taste just like the soft lofthouse version, except these are made with better for you ingredients! Both gluten free and paleo too (if you leave off the frosting!). These are UNREAL.
To kick off cookie week, I made you these delectably soft almond flour sugar cookies that just so happen to be both paleo and gluten free.
But wait! Don’t let the paleo/gf label defer you; these are some of the BEST sugar cookies I’ve ever had. The texture and flavor are incredibly similar to that of the real cookies you buy at the store. Soft, chewy, slightly cakey and a hint of almond flavor.
Can I get a YUM?
Make sure you pack your almond flour: Pack it just like you would with brown sugar!
Make sure you measure your coconut oil when it is melted. This is the best way to measure it. Also make sure that your coconut oil is NOT hot when you make the cookies. You need it to be melted and cooled so that you don’t end up cooking the egg.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes. The coconut oil will need to absorb some of the liquid, so my best advice is to let the dough sit at room temperature.
