Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grab a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Do not use wax paper as it melts.

Measure 2 cups of almond flour, spooning and leveling it.

Add 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar to the bowl. White granulated sugar can be used as a substitute.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, preferably high-quality Madagascar vanilla.

Add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the mixture. If using salted butter, add a pinch of salt instead of the additional salt.

Mix the ingredients together until the dough comes together. You can use a hand mixer or mix by hand with a spatula.

Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the baking sheet, rolling each portion into a ball.

Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or use cookie cutters for shapes if desired.

Sprinkle red and green sprinkles on top of each cookie before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, checking at 8 minutes. They may take up to 12 minutes depending on your oven.

Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet.
