Of all my baking experiments over the past two weeks, these sugar cookies made me the happiest.  I’m almost sure they made my kids even happier though.  And husband.

It was one of those “are these ACTUALLY paleo?!!” moments – a moment that wins for the ultimate Paleo baking compliment, in my opinion.

And, that was before I put the icing on – this should be noted, of course!  Anyway, they were all thrilled that it took me a couple of tries to get the cut-out part right, since that meant extra cookies that weren’t waiting for photos.

And, I might have decorated those 5 cookies just for myself, in the name of recipe testing.  Or just because they tasted really good with my coconut butter icing and melted dark chocolate!

Ingredients in Paleo Sugar Cookies

It’s so easy to make this Paleo cookie dough! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Softened butter (grass-fed and unsalted)
  • Raw honey
  • An egg
  • Vanilla extract
  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Baking soda
  • Salt

The grass-fed butter adds amazing flavor to these cookies, but you can also use ghee for a nearly identical flavor. Just make sure it’s the consistency of room-temperature butter before creaming it.

Coconut oil doesn’t work as well in this recipe as butter or ghee – it makes the dough difficult to roll out and cut, and the flavor isn’t the same. For a completely dairy free version that will keep the texture, you can use palm oil shortening.

How to Make Sugar Cookies

The dough is extremely quick and easy to make!

  1. Cream together the butter & honey. Using my electric hand mixer, I combined the grass-fed butter and raw honey until nice and smooth.
  2. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. After the butter and honey are nice and creamy, we add in an egg (room temp) and vanilla.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add them to the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix – you’ll want everything just combined to form a ball of dough.
  4. Chill the dough. Form the dough into a disc and wrap it with plastic wrap. The dough itself it very easy to roll after about an hour of chilling in the fridge. You can also refrigerate it overnight if you want to make the dough ahead of time.
  5. Roll out the dough. Since it’s still a moist dough, I prefer rolling it between two pieces of parchment paper for best results.  And of course, this part is easier if you have a good assistant!
  6. Cut out the cookies and bake. Cut out shapes using your favorite cookie cutters. Place the cutouts an inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment, then bake for 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  7. Cool and decorate. When the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. When the cookies are cooled to room temperature, decorate them with icing and enjoy!

Speaking of icing, I used two types of white icing for these cookies – a traditional (not Paleo) icing with organic powdered sugar and orange juice, in case you simply need grain free cookies.  For those who want to keep it Paleo, I provided a simple coconut butter icing recipe, too.  And don’t forget the melted dark chocolate – my favorite part!

Once I practiced my cookie-cutting and perfected the recipe, I had my daughter Emily help me with the photos and decorating.

Sugar cookies need at least one good assistant/helper, I think – someone to cut, someone to get rid of the extra dough (without eating it!!) and decide which shape comes next.

The icing, the design, and who gets to eat which shape.  Sugar cookies require more decision making than any other cookie, I’m sure!  Which is probably one reason kids can’t get enough of them.

How do you store cookies after baking?

Baked sugar cookies should be wrapped and stored in an air tight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week.

Here’s a cool trick for softening cookies that have hardened: Place a piece of apple or bread in the container with the cookies to help them retain moisture and keep from drying out.

Do cookies freeze well?

Yes! You can actually freeze cookies baked or unbaked.

To freeze baked cookies: Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container, in layers separated by parchment.

To freeze unbaked cookies: Cut your rolled out cookie dough into shapes, then freeze the unbaked cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.

You can also freeze the dough before cutting the cookies out. Shape the cookie dough into a disc or log, then wrap and freeze.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter unsalted, softened
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 1 egg room temp
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour sifted
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour sifted
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Icing 1 - (not paleo*)

  • 2/3 cup organic powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tsp fresh orange juice or water

Icing 2 - (Paleo)

  • 1/4 cup coconut butter melted**
  • 2 tsp honey

Instructions

  1. In one bowl, combine the sifted almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt, set aside
  2. In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer) cream together the butter and honey until very smooth and creamy on medium speed.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat until a thick cookie dough forms (you can stir it by hand at this point if it’s too thick to mix.)
  4. Using a silicone spatula, scrape all dough off the sides of the bowl and form a ball. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour so the dough can be rolled. You can also chill overnight if you want to make the dough ahead of time.
  5. Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Place the dough on a separate large sheet of parchment paper on your countertop and cover with another sheet. Roll out the dough slowly between the two sheets of parchment paper to 1/4 inch thickness for cutouts.
  7. Place cookie cutouts on the parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough, chilling before rolling out again if needed.
  8. Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until just beginning to turn light brown. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cooled, decorate as desired and enjoy!

For Icing 1*:

  1. Combine sugar and orange juice or water in a small bowl and mix until a smooth icing forms.

For Icing 2:

  1. Carefully stir honey into melted coconut butter, then drizzle on cookies. If you need to re-melt the mixture, do it in small 5 second increments - coconut butter can easily separate to it’s important to be gentle!

Recipe Notes

*For a grain-free only version that contains organic powdered sugar.  For a paleo friendly icing, using icing 2.

**To melt coconut butter, you can either submerge the jar in very hot water for 10 minutes, then stir (preferred) You can also microwave in a glass dish on increments of 7-8 seconds, stirring after each, until drippy.

    Hi Michelle, I’m wondering if you or any of your readers tried freezing these? I tend to do my baking ahead of time and freeze, but since eliminating grains haven’t found much success. I would love to surprise my adult kids with some sugar cookies again!! I just don’t want to have to make them the day before when I’m already busy prepping other items. Thanks for all you do!!!

      While I haven’t tried freezing these (they were gone too fast!) I did freeze my vanilla wafer cookies successfully which have similar ingredients, with the exception of coconut flour. Unfortunately I don’t have the answer specifically for these cookies though!

    Hi Michele. My son is allergic to nuts so being Paleo as a family is not easy. Do you think I could use cassava flour in place of the almond flour in this recipe? Actually, could I use cassava flour to replace almond flour in most recipes? Thanks in advance for your response!

    Reply
    • Michele says

      November 28, 2017 at 2:44 pm

      No, cassava would make the cookies way too crumbly, as in couldn’t even pick one up without it breaking. Unfortunately cassava is very difficult to make cookies with and it has a totally different texture than almond flour. I’ve tried several times to make cookies with cassava and they were all frustrating unfortunately – the dough would be great and the cookies crumbled after baking. If you can use flaxseed meal, that is the closest sub I know for almond flour, although I haven’t tested it enough to know how much almond flour it can sub for and still turn out okay. I haven’t totally given up on cassava though, since I have so many readers who want nut free, coconut free cookies, but for now sadly I don’t have a recipe!

      I’m not familiar with swerve and how it measures, it may affect the texture a bit but I do think you can sub another sweetener successfully.

      It should work out to be the same, as long as it’s in the same soft/solid state as butter would be. Since you’ll chill the dough anyway it should be fine 🙂

    Oh boy. So Michele, I need your help. I made a double batch of these. The dough just would not hold up, and after trying various things (egg, almond milk, more honey, refrigerating – haha) I realized I used COCONUT flour instead of almond flour (the bags look SO similiar!). How can I rescue my double batch of dough?

    The cookie recipe seems good, though I ended up having to throw my dough into the freezer to be able to work with it. The Paleo icing though? Utter failure, and I tried twice. I got the coconut butter melted, but both times when I added honey, it was no longer runny, and popping it into the microwave made it worse. Should both of them be melted before mixing together? I didn’t want to try again because coconut butter is not cheap, and I hate that I wasted a half cup already!

    This recipe worked for me but. . . I had to roll small balls of dough individually between 2 sheets of parchment paper slightly larger than the cookie cutter I was using, remove the top sheet of paper and move the bottom sheet to a baking sheet along with the dough and cutter. When I removed the extra dough and cutter I still had a perfectly shaped cookie.

    Made these ‘sugar’ cookies for a fun afternoon with the kids (the cutting and choosing shapes) which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Loved how the cookies turned out (I made some with raisins) and loved how good they were. However my hubby and girl didn’t take to them and my boy found them OK which surprised me as he is the pickier eater.

    Reply

      Coconut flour tends to do the opposite – softer and more cakey. I actually think more almond flour would make a crisper cookie, especially if you bake on a lower temp for longer.

    This recipe is awesome! I’ve been so nervous about not being able to bake anymore after recently deciding to make the switch to Paleo. Your website is a total game-changer. I used this recipe to make naughty-shaped cookies for a girls’ night, substituting maple syrup for honey due to a friend’s allergy, and using ghee instead of grass-fed butter. Honestly, they held their shape in the oven way better than the regular sugar cookies I also made and taste great! Can’t wait to share them with my girl friends!

    Made these into heart shaped cookies for valentines with my 5 year old. It took a really long time for the palm shortening and maple syrup to mix well. It never quite got completely smooth but it seemed to mix ok once I added the flour mixture. The batter was kind of crumbly but wet…used a little tapioca flour to roll the dough out. Thought it was interesting that the dough smelled like pretzels. Made the non paleo icing too with sugar and orange juice. They turned out pretty good. This is the first paleo sugar cookie recipe I’ve tried and I may stick with it next time.

    Tastes pretty darn close to a regular sugar cookie. The coconut flavor is subtle but definitely comes through. I substituted the honey out for half a cup of sugar and used egg whites from a carton because that’s what I had on hand. Still worked perfectly.

    The flavor of these is quite good. I substituted maple syrup for the honey because I like the flavor better. I ended up having to add about 1/2 cup more almond flour to get the dough to thicken up. (Maybe because the maple syrup was thinner than honey?) The cookies were moist but the coconut flour did create a weird texture that I didn’t care for. If there was a way to keep the dough together without the coconut flour I think the texture would be much better. Also, I had to use some potato starch to keep the cookies from sticking to the parchment paper when rolling them out. Also, I used salted butter and added 1/2 tsp salt (I doubled the recipe) and the saltiness was just right.

    I LOVE PaleoRunningMomma and this is my go-to site for any Paleo recipe. These are quite bland, unfortunately. Everyone is comparing them to “sugar cookies” but they are not sweet. More like a shortbread. I was quite pleased with how they rolled & cut though. Fun to decorate. But my toddler could not be convinced that this was a “cookie”!

    And you really should put a tip with the coconut butter icing because I unfortunately had to learn this lesson myself. You CANNOT just heat coconut butter in a pan and add maple syrup (or I assume honey). It will seize up and get grainy, I believe from too much heat on the liquid sugar ingredients. Only after I ruined my coconut butter did I remember that I tried and failed to make a similar icing once before. Luckily I also had powdered sugar on hand. Hopefully, gently warming the coconut butter in a hot water bath and then mixing with liquid sugars will solve this problem.

    I followed the recipe exactly and they were wonderful! I usually don’t eat any added sugars at all, but I wanted a healthier sweet treat for myself for the holidays, and this was perfect even without any icing. Thank you!
