Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg room temperature

Royal Icing Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup monkfruit powdered sugar
  • 1-1 1/2 tbsp nut milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • natural green food dye

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Mix the almond flour, honey, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg in a bowl until a dough forms.
  • Roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of parchment paper. Use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes. I chose to make Christmas trees.
  • Place the cookie shapes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the monkfruit powdered sugar, vanilla, and nut milk. Adjust the milk quantity for the desired consistency.
  • Add a small amount of food dye to a toothpick and swirl it into the icing. Dip the top of each cookie into the icing, flip it over, and let it dry on a cooling rack.
  • Once the icing is set, these beautiful cookies are ready to delight family and friends!
