Eggs
Vanilla Extract
The Tools
Rolling pin
Parchment paper
Cookie cutters
Baking sheet
The Steps
Make sure to soften the butter on the counter overnight. Preheat the oven to 350F. Place butter and coconut sugar in a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer and mix together until well combined and fluffy.
Add almond flour, egg, and vanilla and mix well. Place in the fridge or freezer for 10-20 minutes to harden up and make it easier to roll out.
Remove from the fridge and place on a parchment paper with another parchment paper on top. Flatten with hands a bit before rolling out with a rolling pin - using the parchment paper to keep it from sticking. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness or so.
Use a cookie cutter to carefully cut out cookies and place in the on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. They will firm up more as they cool!
Substitutions
The coconut sugar could be substituted for any other dry sugar such as evaporated cane sugar (rapadura) or a sugar substitute like xylitol or allulose.
