Recipe: Gluten-Free almond cookies (can also be made sugar free)

This is a really simple recipe. I actually found it scrawled in a baker friend's journal, so it's light on details, but it's easy and really delicious. It's based on a low carb recipe for atkins/diabetics that uses splenda, but I've only ever made it with sugar.

1 1/4c Almond Flour

1c Sugar (use Splenda if making low carb/sugarfree version)

1/4c Butter (softened)

1 lg egg

1 tsp vanilla

pre-heat oven to 350, and grease a baking sheet

Combine flour and sugar.

Blend in butter, egg, and vanilla (use an electric mixer)

Form dough into walnut-sized balls and place onto cookie sheet.

Bake for 5 minutes. Press down lightly with fork, then continue to bake for another 15 minutes. (Watch these like a hawk; they can burn easily, but they don't brown until they are slightly overdone. They're good even if overdone, though... they just turn a little crispy.)
