Ingredients

(Makes 12 cookies)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  Mix the Ingredients:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond butter, almond flour, and maple syrup.
  • Stir until the mixture forms a smooth and sticky dough.

  Shape the Cookies:

  • Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
  • Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
  • Flatten the balls slightly with a fork in a criss-cross pattern for a classic cookie look.

  Optional: Add Chocolate Chips:

  • If desired, press a few chocolate chips or nuts into the top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.

  Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Be careful not to overbake, as these cookies can become too dry.

  Cool and Serve:

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

 

Notes

  • Add a Twist: Stir in cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a pinch of salt for added depth of flavor.
  • Make It Vegan: Swap maple syrup for agave syrup if preferred.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, or freeze for longer storage.
