Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted, soft
- 1/3 cup raw honey (or equivalent substitute)
- 1 egg room temp
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 2/3 cups blanched almond flour sifted
- 6 Tbsp coconut flour sifted
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
Directions
-
In one bowl, combine the sifted almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt, set aside
-
In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer) cream together the butter and honey until very smooth and creamy on medium speed.
-
Add in the egg and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat until a thick cookie dough forms (you can stir it by hand at this point if it’s too thick to mix.)
-
Using a silicone spatula, scrape all dough off the sides of the bowl and form a ball. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour so the dough can be rolled. You can also chill overnight if you want to make the dough ahead of time.
-
Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the dough on a separate large sheet of parchment paper on your countertop and cover with another sheet. Roll out the dough slowly between the two sheets of parchment paper to 1/4 inch thickness for cutouts.
-
Place cookie cutouts on the parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough, chilling before rolling out again if needed.
-
Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until just beginning to turn light brown. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Once completely cooled, decorate as desired and enjoy!
