Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
Optional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Line a baking sheet, tray, or plate with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the blanched almond flour, creamy almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla paste, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a consistent dough.
- Form cookies: Scoop the dough into 1-inch rounds and place them onto the parchment paper. Roll each portion into a ball, then press down with a fork to flatten into cookie shapes. Optionally, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies for added flavor and decoration.
- Set the cookies: Place the tray in the freezer for about 5 minutes to allow the cookies to firm up and set properly before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use blanched almond flour for a finer texture and lighter color.
- If you don’t have vanilla paste, vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
- The cookies are best stored in the freezer or refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
- Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning.
- These cookies are gluten-free and suitable for a low-sugar diet when using pure maple syrup moderately.
