Can I substitute the almond flour in these sugar cookies?

This recipe specifically uses almond flour for its unique texture and flavor. Substituting it with other flours like all-purpose or gluten-free blends would require significant adjustments to the liquid and other ingredients, potentially altering the cookie's consistency.

Why do I need to chill the cookie dough before baking?

Chilling the cookie balls for 30 minutes before baking helps them hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much, resulting in a more tender and consistent cookie.

Can I skip the cinnamon sugar coating?

While you could technically skip it, the cinnamon sugar coating is integral to the flavor and texture of these cookies, adding a delightful crunch and aromatic spice that complements the almond flour base.

How should I store these vegan sugar cookies?

Once completely cooled, store these sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain their freshness and texture.

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

Bake the cookies at 350F for 15 minutes, or until they are just lightly golden around the edges. They will firm up more as they cool on the baking sheet and then a cooling rack.

How to Prepare Sugar Cookies with Cinnamon & Almond Flour [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Whisk till there are no clumps. Add your warm water and stir till everything is combined. I used a wooden spoon to do this.
Into a small bowl combine your cinnamon and sugar and stir till combined.
Roll into balls using a cooking scoop or around 1 1/2 tbsp. Dip into the cinnamon sugar, coat well and place onto a baking sheet. Place balls in the fridge and cool for around 30 minutes before baking at 350F for 15 minutes or until just lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then cool completely on a cooling rack.
