Step 6.  Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment until it is 1/8 inch thick.

Step 7.  Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and add to the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 8.  Mix together egg yolk and almond milk wash.  Brush mixture over each cookie.

Step 9.  Bake for 8-10 minutes until firm and slightly browned around the edges.

Step 10.  Cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.  Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, in the refrigerator for 1 week or in the freezer for 6 months.

Notes

*If you take these cookies to a party, make sure to clearly mark that they contain nuts.  Most people don’t expect cookies to use almond flour, so people with nut allergies might inadvertently eat it.
