Gluten-free cookies that are so easy to make!

Made with both almond and vanilla extract to get that classic sugar cookie flavor.

Ingredients

Almond Flour - I recommend using blanched almond flour (which means the skins have been removed from the almonds). It's finer and better for baking.
Unsweetened Applesauce - adds sweetness and acts as a binder for the other ingredients.
Coconut Sugar - used in place of brown sugar.
Greek Yogurt - a fantastic, tart yogurt that adds moisture.
Vanilla Protein Powder - adds both flavor and protein to the bars.
Large Egg - adds moisture and structure to the bars. Use a room-temperature egg if possible.
Vanilla Extract - an essential flavor for the sugar cookie base.
Almond Extract - this is what gives the bars the classic sugar cookie taste!
Baking Powder - makes the bars fluffier and lighter.
Sprinkles - add your favorite sprinkle colors or whatever is in

See the recipe card for quantities.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the egg, coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a large bowl until fully combined.

Step 2: Then, stir the flour, protein powder, and baking powder until fully combined.

Step 3: Spread the batter into an 8x8-inch parchment-lined pan. If using sprinkles, spread them evenly across the batter and gently press them so they stick.

Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Then, pull the side of the parchment paper to release the bars from the pan. Cut and serve.

Baking Tips - I highly recommend using parchment paper to keep the bars from sticking to the pan. You can also grease the pan if you'd prefer.
Specialty Ingredients - don't skip out on the almond extract! It adds essential flavor to the bars.
Recommended Tools - I recommend using a lightweight aluminum 8x8 baking pan.

Room Temperature - bars can be kept on the counter in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate - bars can be refrigerated for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Freeze - bars can be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
