Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) refined coconut oil, solid but scoopable
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment. Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Beat coconut oil and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then press the dough together by hand until it forms a smooth ball.
  5. Roll dough to ¼ inch thick on a floured surface, cut shapes, and place on sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes until edges are barely golden. Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For especially crisp cutout edges, chill the cut shapes on the parchment-lined sheet for 10 minutes before they go into the oven. The cookies keep for 5 days in an airtight container.
