Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups blanched fine almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3–1/2 cup maple syrup or honey (sugar free syrup works fine)- see notes
- 1/4 cup creamy no stir nut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (pinch) of coarse sea salt
- 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips or mix-in of choice. Ex: nuts, dried fruit, dark chocolate, etc.
- Raw sugar (optional) or baking stevia in the raw to coat dough.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, maple syrup, and nut butter. Mix with wooden spoon or blend with hand mixer until batter is thick and ingredients are combined.
- Add sea salt and any other mix-ins of choice. i.e chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Optional but recommended: For best results, chill batter for 30 minutes in fridge.
- Scoop cookie dough using a medium cookie dough scoop. Roll into a ball then roll each dough ball in pure raw cane sugar or sugar free sugar, if desired.
- Press down with hand or back of flat bottomed measuring cup (greased so it won’t stick). Once flattened, repeat the process until you have about 9-10 cookies.
Place in oven on center rack and bake for 9-12 minutes. Edges will become golden and a little crispy around 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving. - Store in airtight container in fridge or room temp for up to a week. Cookie dough batter and/or baked cookies also freezer friendly for up to 6 weeks.
Notes
- These cookies are more chewy than crispy if you bake for 9-10 minutes versus 12-13 minutes. If baking at altitude, they may take closer to 12 minutes and won’t rise as much.
- Start with adding 1/3 cup maple syrup, if the dough is too dry add 2 tablespoons more.
