Just made these tonight. I used Bob's Red Mill almond flour. I don't have a sifter, so I just whisked everything well, and they didn't seem to suffer. This recipe was super easy and came out so well. I added the tiniest pinch of nutmeg, allspice, and cloves as well. I want a chocolate version of this cookie!
