Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Blanched sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, cream the butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms.

Step 6

If the dough is too sticky, cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.

Step 7

Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Cut the dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter and place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each pastry.

Step 9

Brush the tops of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with blanched sliced almonds.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful treat.
