I went to sleep lastnight knowing that something just wasn’t right. My throat was a little itchy and my chest was a wee bit tighter than usual…but I played it off as just being out in the cold lastnight when I went to Panera. Nope, wrong. Woke up this morning wanting to immediately rip a hole in my neck and pull my throat and most of my innerds out. Gross, but totally true and definitely unappetizing, making breakfast a little hard to stomach, but I did. Luckily when I get sick I rarely lose my appetite. Or maybe I just love food.
Anyway, being sick – in my opinion – is the perfect excuse to sit on my bumdiggity all day. You bet I did, too. In between experimenting more with my almond flour and frequent trips to empty my hot-tea infused bladder, I was smack-dab on my booty. I also made a new bestfriend. Meet Tylenol – and as I tweeted earlier…I’m 21 years old and had SUCH difficulty getting that damn child lock off of it to open it. I rule.
Mmmm tasty. Except not.
So, enough grossing ya’ll out, let’s talk almond flour. I found a sweet recipe for almond flour SUGAR COOKIES! What a perfect recipe for the holidays, right? I adapted the recipe a bit for the ingredients I had on hand and I’m so pleased to say that they turned out perfectly. Also, no worries, I washed my hands frequently and didn’t get any germies on the cookies. I’ll be devouring them all anyway, most likely, so it’s not like it matters. Read on!
Success smells so good.
Almond Flour Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup almond flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup butter or sub
1 tsp vanilla
Sprinkles for decorating (the best part!)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line/grease baking pan
Combine dry ingredients and beat together wet
Combine wet + dry ingredients and plop em’ on your baking pan
Sprinkle them with sprinkles BEFORE baking! I used holiday sprinkles, so festive!

Let cool on a cooling rack and devour! 🙂
Sprinkled!

Hope you feel better soon Meg!

I have to say I love me some snickerdoodles or gingersnaps. and oatmeal raisin! Your sugar cookies look amazing though, you should make me a batch 😉
Those looks so fluffy and delicious! I really want to buy some almond flour now 🙂 I’m sure it would make tasty pancakes, too!
Almond flour is the best! It makes wonderful pie crust too!
Yogi tea throat comfort and green tea! Get better ASAP!
Soup is my favorite remedy. That photo of you and the cough syrup is so cute. you make drugs look good ha. Your cookies look really yummy as well. 🙂
Hahaha! I’m sure you’d make drugs look even better sista
Awwwww, feel better! I was sick all Christmas last year. It was horrid.
Those cookies look amazing!
Wah on being sick! I had a tickle in my throat today and got really nervous about getting sick. I hope you feel better soon!
Hope you stay well!
Ick… I hate being under the weather at this time of year… might I suggest green tea? That’s what I swear by…
I love green tea as well! 🙂
Oh my goodness…. who knew there were so many types of flour!?! Those cookies look awesome… with some icing on top, I’m sure they’d be even better. My favorite kind of cookie is Ginger Molasses, YUM!
I hope you feel better. My home remedy is a hot shower with lots of antibacterial soap, clean pjs, clean sheets, nyquil and lots of tea. Also Vitamin C drops!
Hope that helps 😛 By the way I have been getting caught up on all of your vlogs, I love them. You are so fun to watch. Whit and I got new laptops for our B-day so we are going to for sure make a vlog over winter break. I bought Whit those Sperry Top Siders that you mentioned in one of your Vlogs for x-mas!

I love all kinds of cookies, I guess I’m kind of a cookie monster, lol. As for how I try to get better, that is hard I really don’t like to act sick so I do what always do and hope the sickness will go away, also I try and get extra sleep and stay hydrated.
Hope you feel better!
My poor girl! You’re sick?? It must definitely be finals week stress catching up with you!
At least you’re cozy at home 🙂 I hope you feel better tomorrow morning! LOVE YOU!!
How were the cookies?
Are they worthy of christmas baking!? lol
I’m gluten freee too!
sorry your sick! its just that time of the year i suppose.. but i secretly love it too because I can do NOTHING and feel great about it hahah
favorite cookie are sugar cookies.. just like these!
Hope you feel better soon!
Aw, I hope you feel better! It is the perfect excuse to lay around, though 🙂 Love Wii…ESPECIALLY bowling 🙂
Uhhh this is slightly embarassing to admit, but I love the taste of that Tylenol cold medicine. It’s just cool and minty to me, hahaha. Fave cookie = peanut butter blossoms. I’m loving the ones I just made! Feel better soon love!
Now I wish I had made my sugar cookies gluten free!! I was scared to use flour other than all-purpose, but yours look yummy 🙂
Oh no! Hope you feel better! Cookies always make me feel better–especially when they are cute and sprinkled like yours! 🙂
Feel better soon, chica! I’m just like you – I RARELY lose my appetite, even when I’m sick. No matter how sick I feel, my stomach is almost always functioning properly haha.
Your sugar cookies look ah-mazing (love those colorful sprinkles 🙂 )
I’d say my faves have to be…these mint chocolate chip cookies with colorful sprinkles my aunt makes every Christmas (I’m going to try to post the recipe soon!) But monster cookies and a good ‘ol, chewy and soft chocolate chip never fail me either 😉
I never lose my appetite when I’m sick either! Thank goodness, huh? I would hate to go a day without eating real food!
Feel better soon! 🙂
I hope your pretty little self is feeling better and I HATE that tylenol stuff! I took that too last time I was sick and I swear the taste of that made me more sick! lol!
LOVE LOVE these cookies! I wish I had almond flour!!!
Love u!!
