Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, shape the chilled dough into an egg shape (or desired shape) using damp fingers or a parchment template.
