Gluten Free Almond Flour Sugar Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The holiday season is upon us and we love nothing better than decorating sugar cookies. I’ve tried several gluten free sugar cookie recipes over the years and was less than impressed. They either crumbled as soon as any pressure was applied, were hard as a rock, or tasted like chalk. This year I created my own recipe and I could not be more pleased with the results. They are chewy, hold together pretty darn well, and taste fantastic. I had many taste testers and I assure you it’s true.

I like to keep recipes simple, preferring to use just one flour. Unfortunately, when your goal is to recreate texture one has to be flexible. For this recipe, I use finely ground almond flour and also tapioca flour and of course, sugar. This isn’t a healthy cookie, it’s a cookie, and a delicious one at that.

The Recipe

To make this cookie you will need finely ground almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, evaporated cane sugar, butter or coconut oil, egg or egg substitute, water, and vanilla extract.

If you can’t have eggs, substitute with one flax “egg.” Mix 1 tablespoon flax meal with 3 tablespoons hot water. Let sit for 5 minutes to gel, then add to your wet ingredients to mix. 

Mix the flours, baking powder and salt together. Then in another bowl mix the sugar, egg, butter (or coconut oil), water and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and lightly mix completely. Be careful not to overmix.

 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet (like this one), and form dough into 2 inch sized balls. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. They will not brown so I do not recommend using that as an indicator. 

Once done, remove from the oven, and place cookies on a cooling rack.  For best results, cool completely before frosting.

We are having some beautiful winter weather this w We are having some beautiful winter weather this weekend and I'm stoked! Not only do we need the rain and snow (up north), I get to snuggle in and have enjoy comforting soup! 

I like to use bone broth as my base since it's pretty much liquid gold when it comes to health, then load up the herbs for flavor and their medicinal properties, then add veggies, chicken, and sometimes gluten free noodles. My family prefers less veggies and more noodles than I do so I often make two batches. Are you willing to do two batches of a similar meal to make everyone happy?
There comes a time when your patient load is full, There comes a time when your patient load is full, your running a practice full time, and just don't have the time to give to high-need patients that you used to.

Even though you have the coaching skills, there just isn't enough time. You don't have to overwork yourself or tell the patients to read the handouts again. Instead, you have a couple of options to improve patient success rate and their satisfaction with your care.

#1: Partner with a Health Coach. A health coach can be an invaluable asset to complement your practice. A good one can ensure your patients are clear on the why behind the treatment plan and guide them in implementing it successfully into their lives. I've talked with a lot of ND's and I know that there are a lot of coaches out there who just can't coach to the level you need for your patients. Everyone has their specialty and finding a coach that is able to follow your treatment plan correctly is a challenge. We are out there!
#2 Offer an Online Coaching Program. You can develop this yourself or you can become an affiliate to programs. Becoming an affiliate is nice because you don't have to put the hours into creating your own course and you make a supplemental income while providing patients with the support they need.

Having partnered with ND's for over 7 years, I have seen firsthand how beneficial a coach and online coaching programs are to their practices. It gives them more time to be the doctor and business owner while knowing their patients are following the treatment plan and getting better quickly, with less frustration. This past year I created an affiliate program for not only my ND partners but all ND's to be able to share with their patients directly from their websites. Everyone is happy, especially the patients. If you haven't yet, head to the link in my bio to learn more about my Coaching Programs available for your patients!

Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for the week that is sustaining, delicious, and healthy all at the same time.

I like to use sweet potatoes as my crust, then I add in sauteed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with precooked bacon or sausage, and if I'm feeling indulgent, some goat cheese along with salt, pepper, and herbs.

The cheese and sausage help keep the texture from getting dry when reheating. However, you can always top with salsa or avocado to help with that as well. This recipe can be found on my YouTube channel, Thrive Gluten Free.

A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it complicated. When you are clear on the basics, you can start making it work for you from there.

If you can't wrap your head around it, I have a meal plan and online coaching program that can help give you the jumpstart and tips you need to make it work. I also help you transition off the diet and back into a normal healthy eating lifestyle at the end of the 3 months! Learn more here: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/low-mold-diet-guide-meal-plan/

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.

Healthy fats don't make you fat. Fat has been dem Healthy fats don't make you fat.

Fat has been demonized for years. The popularity of the ketogenic diet has brought it back into fashion, but there's still an innate pull to avoid it.

Did you know that studies since the 1950's have consistently shown that a diet higher in fat and lower in carbs (not ketogenic levels) reduces your appetite while also keeping you satiated? Also, those who eat this way consume 300-600 calories less per day without feeling hungry? Pretty dang cool.

Healthy animal fats are also one of the few sources of nutrients necessary to support the immune system including vitamins, A, D, E, and K2. 

Healthy fats include:
Butter (from pastured animals)
Egg yolks
Fatty fish
Coconut flesh and oil
Olives and olive oil
Avocado and avocado oil
Nuts, seeds, and their butters
Lard and tallow from pastured animals

I like to enjoy 1-2 servings per meal to keep me satiated all day long.
Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause iss Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause issue to many other health conditions including
autoimmune disease
migraines
joint pain and swelling
chronic fatigue
systemic pain and inflammation
chronic sinus issues
stubborn GI issues
and many more that nothing seems to help improve

Mold exposure typically happens in the home or office and the constant exposure slowly takes hold in the body. Once it takes hold, it is stubborn and is an extremely long process to get rid of. Typically you find out you have mold in your system through a blood test.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR MOLD
#1 Test your home
If you test positive, then you'll want to get your home tested. If your home has a mold issue, remediation is the best course of action versus trying to take care of it yourself. They will protect your AC system and the rest of your home so that the mold doesn't spread to new areas and continue making you sick.

#2 See a Knowledgeable Doctor
Secondly, you'll need to see a doctor well versed in mold toxicity (like Dr. Geyer) to get on a supplement plan to slowly add-in binding agents and ones to support your intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys during the detox process.

#3 Limit Mold Intake For 3-6 Months
This is where a low mold diet comes into play. You have to limit the number of mycotoxins entering your body through your food for 3-6 months so that you can starve the mold out instead of constantly replenishing it. This is an essential step in recovering from Mold Toxicity/Mold Illness.
