These delicious coconut flour sugar cookies are a lower carb and gluten free alternative to the classic sugar cookies that include all-purpose flour. Similar to the original, they are melt-in-your-mouth tender with a sweet and buttery flavour.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.
To a food processor add all the sugar cookie dough ingredients (coconut flour, cornstarch, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
Close the lid and process all the ingredients until a moldable dough ball forms.
Place the dough between 2 parchment paper sheets and roll it out to about ⅛-inch thickness or preferred thickness.
Chill the rolled out dough sheet for 10-15 minutes to firm up a little. This makes cutting shapes and transferring easier.
Use your cookie cutters to cut shapes into the dough. With a small spatula or butter knife gently lift the cut out shape onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake the coconut flour sugar cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
