Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)
This recipe is super easy! You only need two things for these tasty cookies. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
For the best cookies, use ultra-fine almond flour. If you can’t find it, almond meal will work too. But your cookies might be a bit grainier.
Want sugar-free cookies? Use sugar-free maple syrup made with fiber syrup or monk fruit. These keep the sweetness without sugar.
If you’re out of maple syrup, don’t worry! You can use agave syrup, coconut nectar, or brown rice syrup. Each gives your cookies a special flavor.
Need nut-free cookies? Use oat flour instead of almond flour. The cookies will taste different but still be yummy. Just remember, you might need to add a bit more liquid.
These cookies are so versatile! I’ve tried them with different flours and sweeteners, and they always turn out great.
With these ingredients and substitutes, you can make the recipe your own. Happy baking!
Instructions
Let’s make these tasty almond cookies! First, I preheat my oven to 350°F. This temperature is perfect for golden cookies. While the oven heats, I mix the ingredients.
I mix almond flour and maple syrup in a bowl. Stir until it’s a sticky dough. Then, shaping the cookies is fun!
I turn the dough into small balls and flatten them. For shapes, I roll the dough between parchment paper. This makes cutting shapes easy and prevents sticking.
Now, they go into the oven for 10-15 minutes. I watch for golden edges to know they’re done. After baking, I let them cool.
This cooling step is very important. I put the cookies on a wire rack to cool. They might seem soft, but they get firmer as they cool.
Patience is a virtue when it comes to these cookies. The cooling process is just as important as the baking!
Chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps a lot. It makes the dough easier to work with and keeps the cookies’ shape. Enjoy baking!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
I love playing with cookie texture! For crispier edges, flatten the cookies a bit before baking. This trick makes a big difference. Add vanilla, cinnamon, or almond extract for new flavors.
Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They stay fresh for up to a week. Don’t keep them in the fridge, as it can make them sticky. Freezing is a good way to store them for longer. Just thaw at room temperature before eating, and they’ll taste great!
Want to add something special? Stir in chocolate chips, coconut, or dried fruits. Decorate with melted chocolate or sugar-free icing for a fancy touch. These changes can turn your simple almond cookies into something amazing for any event.
