Almond cookies are a delicious and popular treat, but many recipes contain gluten, which can be a problem for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, there are many gluten-free almond cookie recipes available that are just as tasty and satisfying as traditional almond cookies. These recipes use alternative flours, such as almond flour, coconut flour, or oat flour, to create a gluten-free cookie that is still light, airy, and flavorful.
Let's cook with our recipes!
GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH ALMOND FLOUR
These chocolate chip cookies are made with almond flour and are therefore gluten free. However, they taste so good, I would put them up against any cookie recipe out there, and they'd probably win. The texture is slightly crispy on the outside and moist and chewy in the middle. Nobody that I have baked these for has been able to eat just one.

ALMOND BUTTER RAISIN COOKIES (VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE)
Soft healthful gluten-free cookies made with simple ingredients, with a heavy richness from roasted almond butter, lots of raisins and a bit of maple syrup. They are my staple break-time snack for work and freeze very well. Each cookie comes out to about 125 calories each.

Steps:
- Soak raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, then discard soaking water.

- Grease a cookie sheet and spoon drop about 2 tbsp worth of cookie dough for each cookie.
- Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before transfering to rack to cool another 5 minutes.
ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES (GLUTEN FREE)
This recipe can be made with any kind of nut butter. It's not very sweet - peanut butter cookies usually are made with 1 cup pb and 1 cup sugar, so this is only half the amount of sugar. You can add raisins, chocolate chips, craisins, nuts.... whatever floats your boat! For the gluten free flour you can use 1 cup of any gf flour mix. Usually I use rice flour and tapioca starch.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix butter, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and honey in a bowl. Whisk until well blended.
- Add almond flour and coconut flour and mix with spoon until well blended and creamy. Texture will be much like peanut butter cookie dough. Add any optional ingredients (nuts, dried fruit, etc) and mix until well distributed.
- Place balls of dough on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and press with a fork to flatten cookies and make criss cross pattern. Return to even and bake another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
- Use almond flour: Almond flour is the main ingredient in these cookies, and it gives them their characteristic texture and flavor. Make sure to use finely ground almond flour for best results.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. This will also make them easier to handle.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to ensure that your cookies are all the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Almond cookies should be baked until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing or serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
These almond cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make gluten-free treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a gluten-free cookie recipe, give these almond cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
