Wholesome Almond Flour Sugar Cookies
These delightful almond flour cookies are a healthier way to enjoy a classic treat without any refined sugar.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about a classic sugar cookie, but sometimes I want a version that feels a little lighter. These cookies use almond flour and pure maple syrup to give you that wonderful buttery texture while keeping things simple and wholesome.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to whip up for a quick afternoon snack. Just remember to let the dough chill for a bit before you roll it out, as it makes the cookies much easier to handle and ensures they hold their shape perfectly in the oven.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
👩🍳Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour and salt.
- 3
Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
- 4
Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up.

Transfer the shapes to your prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden.

Let the cookies cool completely on the tray so they have time to set before you move them.
💡 Tips
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze the baked cookies for a month if you want to keep them on hand for later. They taste wonderful with a hot cup of tea or a cold glass of almond milk.
