Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla, mix on low for 30 seconds until combined. The batter may look curdled.
  3. Fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt with a spatula until no dry pockets remain. The dough will be soft and slightly tacky.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop 1 1/2-tablespoon balls of dough onto parchment-lined sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

If the dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it for 10 minutes. These cookies are naturally gluten-free. For the best texture, let them cool completely on a wire rack before stacking.
