When I first trained as a pastry chef, my instructor introduced me to almond flour. It’s a staple of French pastry, as it is used in fillings, cakes, and cookies. While I love it in all sorts of desserts, almond flour has some delightful properties that make cookies really shine.

Almond Flour Cookies

Almond flour adds a light, but not overwhelming, nutty flavor to cookies. Plus, you get the benefit of higher nutritional content than regular all-purpose flour. And of course, cookies made of almond flour alone are completely gluten-free. One advantage that might surprise you? The additional (good) fat in almond flour increases the shelf life on your cookies, so they don’t dry out in a day!

  • So many different types of cookies, from classic French macarons to oatmeal cookies and thumbprint cookies
  • Lots of simple recipes you can make in minutes
  • Paleo, keto, and vegan cookie options
