Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, beat vanilla, cinnamon, unsalted butter, and sugar with an electric beater or the paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy and well incorporated - about 20 seconds on medium speed.
Add in almond flour, and salt. Beat again until it looks crumbly and consistent. Use your hands to gather the dough pieces and form a dough ball. Roll in plastic wrap.
Place the dough ball in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
Remove the dough from the fridge and place the ball between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough with a rolling pin to 1/4-inch thickness.
Peel off the top parchment paper sheet and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
Lift a flat tool (knife, spatula) under the cookie to transfer onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Gather the leftover dough, form a ball, and roll again, following the same process. You should be able to form 20 sugar cookies with this recipe.
Bake the cookies in the center of your oven until the sides are slightly golden brown, about 8-12 minutes.
Cool down 10 minutes on the baking sheet then cool compeltley on a cooling rack at room temperature before frosting with vegan royal icing.
