Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened natural almond butter well-stirred
  • 5 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour (Bob's Red Mill is my favourite)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a medium mixing bowl add the almond butter and maple syrup and stir together until well combined and a creamy paste forms.

  • Add the almond flour and stir well until a thick cookie dough forms.

  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls per cookie. Use your hands to roll each portion of cookie dough into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.

  • Use a fork to gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2 inch, pressing in a criss-cross pattern. Optional: press one almond into the top of each cookie before baking.

  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are dry to the touch and they are turning golden brown on the bottom.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then move to a wire rack to fully cool.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Variations and add-ins:
Melt dark chocolate and drizzle on after the cookies have fully cooled OR dip half of the cookie in for a lovely chocolate dip look and finish with a pinch of sea salt.
Add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in when mixing the almond butter and maple syrup for a cinnamon flavor.
Add in 1/4-1/3 cup mini chocolate chips into the batter.
