These vegan & gluten free cut-out sugar cookies are perfect for the holidays! They’re packed with nut butter flavor and super soft and chewy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp. peanut butter (or your fave nut butter)*
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • evaporated cane juice/coconut sugar/coarse sugar for topping, optional
  • melted vegan dark chocolate for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. Mix almond flour, coconut flour, and baking soda in a bowl, making sure to remove all lumps. Set aside.
  2. In a smaller bowl, melt coconut oil and nut butter together. Mix to combine. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix.
  3. Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix until combined. The dough should come together in a ball.
  4. Scoop dough into a piece of plastic wrap, and set in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or up to overnight.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Place another sheet of parchment paper onto your surface. Dust the parchment paper with a bit of coconut flour. Add your dough ball to the coconut flour, and dust a bit more flour on top. Roll out your dough to 1/4-inch. The dough will be soft, so continue dusting on a small amount of coconut flour so your rolling pin won’t stick.
  7. Cut out your shapes using a cookie cutter. Carefully remove excess dough and place cut cookies on your parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll the excess dough into a ball, roll out, and cut more shapes until no more dough is left.
  8. Sprinkle cut cookies with evaporated cane juice if desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are browned. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Decorate with dark chocolate if desired. Store in an air-tight container.

Notes

*I made one batch of cookies with almond butter and one with peanut butter. While any nut/seed butter will work here, it’s better if your nut butter isn’t drippy. Favorite brands: Barney Butter for almond butter and Kirkland (Costco) for peanut butter.
