Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups super-fine blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch or tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • Optional: 1/3 cup certified gluten-free sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Bring the dough together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined. If using sprinkles, gently fold them in.
  4. Chill the dough. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
  5. Prepare to bake. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Shape the cookies. Scoop and roll dough into balls about 1.5 tablespoons each. Roll each ball in granular sugar and arrange them on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look soft.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 10 to 20 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Use super-fine blanched almond flour for the best texture. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
