Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and keeps your healthy Christmas cookies evenly baked.
  2. Prepare the dough In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour (or oat flour), natural sweetener, and spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients such as egg, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix until smooth Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of almond milk.
  4. Shape the cookies Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place on the baking tray and gently flatten with your palm or the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Avoid overbaking—healthy Christmas cookies continue to firm up as they cool.
