If you’ve been looking for a grain-free sugar cookie cutout recipe, you have got to try these!
Recipe: Coconut Sugar Cookie Cutouts
1/2 cup butter, softened (you could sub coconut oil if needed, but they may be a bit more “greasy”)
3/4 cup coconut sugar
2 eggs
1 TBSP pure vanilla extract
3 cups almond flour
2 tsp gluten-free, aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot starch for when you’re working with the dough
Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, except for the tapioca/arrowroot starch. Stir in the wet ingredients, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple hours to chill. After a few hours, take dough out and sprinkle a cutting board with a bit of tapioca/arrowroot, and roll out the dough to about a 1/4″ thickness. Sprinkle with a bit more starch and use desired cookie cutters for cut outs. Place onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for about 8-9 minutes. Decorate with frosting, if desired.

Yum! I bet a little coconut butter mixed with honey would make a nice frosting for these too! 🙂

What could be substituted for the almond flour? Could you use coconut flour and increase eggs?

I wouldn’t recommend subbing coconut flour if you want to get the same finished result, although you could try it. I know some people can’t tolerate almonds–sorry. =( I don’t use coconut flour much because I just don’t care for the taste/texture of it.
