These gluten-free coconut almond cookies are deliciously nutty and slightly sweet, making them a perfect treat for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone who loves the combination of coconut and almonds.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dry ingredients - Whisk the almond flour, desiccated coconut, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
1 ½ cups Almond flour, ½ cup Desiccated coconut, ½ tsp Baking powder, ¼ tsp Kosher salt
Wet ingredients - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes. Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup Granulated sugar, 1 large Egg
Combine - Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients to the mixing bowl. Mix until a dough forms. Pro tip - If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes to make it easier to work with.
Flavor - Stir in the almond and vanilla extract to the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
½ tsp Almond extract, ½ tsp Vanilla extract
Ball - Scoop portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls using a spoon or your hands. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.Pro tip - If you want flat cookies, flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
Cool - Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store - Once the cookies have cooled, they will be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
