It's all about moderation, right ~ and it just wouldn't be Christmas without trays of homemade cookies! Although it's hardly possible to use strictly healthy ingredients when making homemade cookies, at least you can use high quality products without any preservatives or additives. This chewy cookies are a bit healthier than traditional cookies because they include almond flour, instead of white flour. Happy baking ~ and let the Christmas cheer begin!
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond meal/flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure cane sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Cinnamon sugar
- Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl; set aside.
- Mix butter and sugars by hand (or mixer) until creamy; add egg and vanilla and continue mixing until well blended.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm enough to roll into balls.
