Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond Flour (or almond meal)

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or any liquid sweetener you like)
  • Coconut oil (for greasing the parchment paper and hands)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and maple syrup until the dough becomes wet and sticky, ensuring the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  3. Form Dough Balls: Oil your hands lightly with coconut oil. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough, roll it between your hands to form a ball, and place it on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about a thumb-sized space between each cookie. Repeat this process to form 6 dough balls, reapplying oil to your hands as needed because the dough is sticky.
  4. Flatten Cookies: Press each dough ball flat with your hand. Thinner cookies will be crisper, while slightly thicker cookies will have a moist center. Choose your preferred thickness.
  5. Bake: Place the cookie sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start turning golden brown.
  6. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and cool them immediately on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
  7. Store: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Use almond meal as a nutty-flavored alternative to almond flour if desired.
  • Coconut oil helps prevent the dough from sticking during shaping and baking.
  • Adjust the cookie thickness based on your texture preference: thinner for crispier, thicker for a moist center.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free and free of refined sugars, making them a healthy treat option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
