Almond meal is definitely one of my go-to’s when it comes to baking. Not only is it easy to work with, it’s low carb, gluten free and full of healthy fats!
Almonds are a wonderful source of calcium, fiber and magnesium so replacing processed wheat with them is a no-brainer for me. Plus, I love the nutty flavor and the “lightness” they give when you bake with them! I can eat oodles of cookies and not have the stuffed, sluggish feeling I get from regular flour 😀
These almond flour sugar cookies don’t actually contain a lot of sugar, but they do taste great! They’re easy to make and you can use your favorite cookie cutters to make fun shapes for kids or the Holidays.
I personally love bringing a tray of these with me to Christmas dinners because they’re a delicious but light dessert- who doesn’t love sugar cookies.. even if they are healthy, gluten free ones?!
