Almond flour cookie recipe - just tried it YUM

King Arthur Flour sends the Daughter recipes now and then.  Today's was for almond flour cookies. Just made some and they are REALLY good (and like 2 to 3 carbs per cookie).

1 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together until blended. Form into 1-inch balls, place on cookie sheet. Pat/smush down to be only about 1/4 inch thick. Cook at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes. Then let them cool a few moments (or they'll fall apart) before taking them off the pan to cool on a wire rack. They're done when they turn golden.

I made 3 batches - one the original, one with lemon extract instead of vanilla, and one with orange extract instead of vanilla.  They all turned out well, but I think ya have to put more orange extract in than either vanilla or lemon, as I could barely taste it. But they were all really good, would be nice with a cup of tea in the evening.

One of the last hurrahs before the serious diet starts.

They are really good (in my opinion). Not low calorie, but low carb.

Does the almond flour give it that flavour?  Would almond extract be overkill?  I ask because I LOVE almond extract/flavour, but if the flour imparts it, I would stick to vanilla.  (* When I have an oven.)

I think you could add almond if you wanted. It already has a nice almond flavor, but kinda like chocolate, for a flavor-lover there's no such thing as too much. Alternately, slivered, roasted almond pieces would go nicely in there, I think!
