Simple Sugar Cookies
Soft and chewy, sweet and buttery, AND just 5 ingredients, makes these simple sugar cookies an enjoyable treat!
Ingredients
- 2 cups super fine almond flour (201g)
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup cane sugar (145g)
- * coarse sea salt, turbinado sugar, or sprinkles are optional to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- First, soften the butter by letting it sit out the night before or by carefully microwaving it for about 5 seconds.
- Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and add in the vanilla extract, eggs, and sugar. Use a big spoon to mix the ingredients until creamy. Then add in the almond flour and mix until it turns into a smooth dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cover the bowl and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Once the oven and dough are ready, use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough into tablespoon sized rounds on the baking sheet, leaving a couple inches in between each cookie. Then use your hand to gently flatten the tops of the cookies. If sprinkling the cookies with any toppings, do so now.
- Finally, bake on the middle oven rack for 12-14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn light brown. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before using a spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack.
