Instructions
- Start by adding almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Next, add coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract into a bowl. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir together until all of the flour has been absorbed.
- Use a cookie scoop to place the dough in even amounts on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before transferring cookies to a metal cooling rack.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, add frosting and sprinkles.

Expert Tips
- For best results, use a finely ground almond flour for this recipe or the texture will come out grainy. My favorite almond flour brands are Bob's Red Mill and Blue Diamond.
- Do not press the cookie dough balls down on the baking sheet, they will spread as they bake.
- When the cookies come out of the oven, drop the baking tray onto the counter to help them flatten out. (By giving them a gentle slam onto the counter while warm, it will create the perfect shape.)
- Wait until the cookies have cooled to room temperature before frosting them or else it will melt and slide off.
- To prevent the cookies from sticking, I always suggest using parchment paper on the cookie sheet.
