Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings: 24 cookies
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 c. coconut oil cold
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 ½ c. flour
  • 1 c. almonds finely chopped
  • 1 c. powdered sugar for rolling

Method
 

  1. Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, in your stand mixer, cream the powdered sugar, vanilla, coconut oil, and salt until light and creamy.
  2. Next, add the chopped almonds and mix until thoroughly combined. Then gradually mix in the flour to create a crumbly dough. The dough will hold together when pressed with your hands. Using your hands (greased if you'd like), form the dough into 1-1½" balls and place on your prepared baking sheets.
  3. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes or until they begin to golden slightly. Then remove them from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before rolling generously in the powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
