{Gluten-Free} Sugar Cookies

In a large bowl, cream the coconut oil and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, vanilla, and almond extract if using. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Beat in the flour mixture to the coconut oil mixture.

Place the bowl in the fridge or turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Place in the fridge for about a half hour; you can also store it for up to three days but the dough will need to be softened a bit before using.

On a piece of parchment, sprinkle a good amount of oat flour. The dough will be fairly sticky. Turn dough out onto the paper, sprinkle with a bit more oat flour, then press flat and use a rolling pin to roll out. Cut out cookies with cutters and place on baking sheets 1 inch apart. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and cool on sheets for 10 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool completely. The longer you let the cookies rest, the more the flavors will develop! If wished, dust lightly with cinnamon sugar (1 teaspoon ground cinnamon + 1 tablespoon maple sugar).
