Are these cookies really just 2 ingredients?

Yes! Almond flour and maple syrup are all you need. Stir, scoop, flatten, bake, and you're done.

Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?

Yes, though almond meal has a coarser texture and may make the cookies more rustic and slightly crumbly.

Do I need to refrigerate the dough?

Not unless it's very warm in your kitchen. Chilling isn't required, but it can help firm up sticky dough.

Can I add baking powder or soda?

It's not needed. These cookies don't rise much, and they're meant to be slightly dense and chewy.

Can I make a sugar-free version?

Yes try using yacon syrup or a low-carb sweetener syrup like monk fruit if you're avoiding sugars.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly oil it.
Mix almond flour and maple syrup in a bowl until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly oil your hands. Scoop ~1½ tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place on baking sheet.
Flatten each ball gently with your palm.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges turn golden.
Cool completely on a wire rack for 30 minutes—they firm up as they cool.

Use parchment and oil to prevent sticking.
Add a pinch of salt, vanilla, or cinnamon if desired.
