I can’t believe Christmas is so soon!!
It’s crazy how time flies sometimes. I feel like I can barely keep up with my life haha. Nonetheless, I’m excited to celebrate Jesus with my family in a few short days. Listening to Christmas music and baking cookies makes me feel like a kid again, so I decided I should do that! And with Christmas so close, I figured I should post this cookie recipe ASAP so you could have time to make them yourself if you wanted!
I’m a HUGE fan of almond desserts. It’s such a decadent flavor and so so delicious! I also feel like almond cookies are sort of festive and Christmasy, so that adds an extra layer of excitement! These cookies use coconut sugar as the sweetener and I personally think they turned out delicious because I’ve made them a few times!
This recipe is also SUUPER simple and only has 5 ingredients! The flour is almond flour, and doesn’t even use any coconut flour! It’s pretty quick to make so they’d be easy to whip up on Christmas eve for Santa Clause 😉
