Almond Flour Cookies
It's not easy to create an Almond Flour Cookie that pleases a whole crowd of discerning teenagers. But I finally did. And it's become my most sought-after recipe at cookouts, games, parties, sleepovers--well, you get it!
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour blanched preferred
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened (or vegan butter for dairy-free option)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips dairy-free if desired
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder until well combined. Add softened butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring until you have a uniform dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly to form a cookie shape, leaving room between each for slight spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep that desirable chewy texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set properly.
