Ingredients

Dry

Wet

Simple Icing

  • 2 cups organic powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons water
  • Optional: food coloring

Toppings

  • Sprinkles
  • Edible Glitter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg, almond extract, and honey. Then, add in melted coconut oil and whisk again.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients to wet until your dough is formed. Use a wooden spoon at first and then switch to using your hands. The dough may seem crumbly at first, but continue to knead dough together until it forms a ball.
  • At this point, you can add your food coloring. We suggest starting off with just a few drops and kneading the food coloring into the dough. You can also make multiple colors of dough by separating in half or thirds.
  • Create a ball with your dough and wrap with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Once the dough has cooled. Remove from fridge and sprinkle coconut flour onto a hard, cool surface as well as your rolling pin. Then, use rolling pin to roll out the dough so that it’s around 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch thick. If it’s sticking, sprinkle on some more coconut flour.
  • Use small/medium cookie cutters to create sugar cookie cut outs. Place shapes onto your parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry about spacing too much, the cookies will not expand that much.
  • Bake at 350ºF for 6-8 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. They cook fast, so be careful!
  • Immediately remove from hot pan and place on cookie rack. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
  • For the icing: add water to powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time and mix. Add enough water, until you’ve reached your desired thickness. If you want to color your frosting, add a few drops of whatever color you desire. Then, transfer into a piping bag (or plastic bag) and frost away!
  • Frost cookies with icing and then decorate with sprinkles and edible glitter.
  • Will stay for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container.
