Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (91 g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 3 tbsp (1.5 fl oz / 44 ml) pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and maple syrup. Stir until dough is crumbly but sticks together when pressed.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and flatten slightly into thick disks.
- If desired, press a whole almond into the center of each cookie.
- Bake 15–20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Cool fully on the baking sheet before removing.
Notes
- Use superfine blanched almond flour for the best texture.
- Pure maple syrup works best, but honey or agave can be substituted.
- Smooth edges before baking since cookies won’t spread much.
- Cookies firm up as they cool, so don’t move them too soon.
