Instruktioner
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, cornstarch, and cinnamon, if used.
- Stir in maple syrup, melted plant-based butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Stir the batter with a rubber spatula, then knead it with slightly oiled hands until it forms a sticky dough ball.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper on your working surface, place the dough ball in the center, and press another large piece of parchment paper on top.
- Press the dough ball with the palm of your hand to form a circle of dough that is encased between the two layers of parchment paper.
- Roll with a rolling pin into a 1/4 inch (1/2cm) in thickness, peel off the top piece of parchment paper, then use a cookie stamp cutter to cut out cookies.
- Place each cookie into the prepared cookie sheets, leaving a thumb of space between each of a them. They won't expand in the oven.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes max at 350 °F (180 °C) until just golden brown. If you overbake them, they get dark and crunchier.
- Cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour before decorating or serve plain. Can be decorated with my Opskrift på vegansk royal icing.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
This recipe is really easy to whip up with just 4 base ingredients and can be transformed with add-ins and flavors.
- Mandelmel – The base ingredient for these cookies, providing a naturally gluten-free structure and a nutty, buttery flavor. Substituting with almond meal creates darker, grainier cookies.
- Majsstivelse – Cornstarch adds a soft and tender texture to the cookies. It can be replaced with tapioca, arrowroot, or corn flour for similar results.
- Mælkefrit smør – Butter adds richness and helps bind the dough. Refined coconut oil works as a dairy-free alternative but avoid unrefined oil to prevent a strong coconut taste.
- Ahornsirup – It’s a natural sweetener that also moistens the dough. You can substitute it with other liquid sweeteners like agave syrup or date syrup.
- Vanilla & Almond Extracts – These flavors are optional but they boost the holiday flavors. Almond extract pairs beautifully with almond flour.
- Kanel – Cinnamon adds a warm Christmassy touch It’s optional but recommended for seasonal spice.

Carines bagetips
Let me give you my most important tips for perfect cookies every single time.
- Use Parchment Paper for Rolling – Rolling the dough between parchment paper prevents sticking and makes it easy to achieve an even thickness.
- Køl dejen ned, hvis det er nødvendigt – If the dough feels too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Cut Out Shapes Carefully – To ensure the cookies hold their shape, lift them gently with a thin spatula after cutting.
- Do Not Overbake – Almond flour browns quickly. Keep an eye on the cookies and remove them from the oven as soon as the edges turn golden.
- Cool Completely Before Decorating – These cookies firm up as they cool. Decorating them too soon might cause breakage.
Flavor and Decoration Ideas
These cookies are easy to decorate and color to make a whole variety with a single recipe!
- Vegansk Royal Icing – Use my Opskrift på vegansk royal icing to create cut and fancy designs on the cookies. This recipe is easy to color, so you can make many different styles.
- Dipped Edges – Dip the cooled cookies halfway into melted dairy-free chocolate and sprinkle with crushed nuts or coconut flakes.
Tip til opbevaring
Like many other dairy-free and egg-free cookies, this recipe can be stored easily.
- Refrigeration – Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge i op til 4 dage to maintain freshness. They can also be kept in a cookie box for a couple of days.
- Frysning – Freeze undecorated cookies in layers separated by parchment paper in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before decorating.

can we use honey instead of maple syrup?
Jo da!
looks amazing, but I am allergic to almonds, is there anything else I can substitute for it??? thank you
Sure, you can simply use my healthy sugar cookie recipe, it’s made with regular flour.
My son love this cookies, thank you 🙂
Thank you for baking my recipes!
These cookies turned out absolutely delightful. Super easy, ingredients I already had at home and feel good about giving to my toddler. He had a great time helping me make them too. Definitely saving this one to make again!
Can use gluten free flour to replace almond flour?
I don’t think it will work, almond flour is moist and less starchy. The cookies will require more moisture with GF flour and end up harder.
Carine, ¡esta es la mejor receta que he probado!
