How to Make Gluten Free Soft Almond Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon amaretto.
- Add 1 large egg and beat on high speed for 30 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups almond flour, ½ cup rice flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Start checking at 10 minutes.
- (Optional) For decorated cookies, lightly brush with egg yolk before baking and sprinkle with colored sugar, flaked coconut, or your favorite toppings.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
