Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour (blanched almond flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter (or vegan butter, softened)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even rising and texture in the cookies.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until the dough comes together evenly and smoothly.
- Shape Cookies: Form the dough into 6 large or 12 small cookie-sized balls. Place them on the lined baking sheet and gently press down to flatten into cookie shapes.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges just begin to turn golden brown.
- Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use vegan butter instead of regular butter.
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
- Do not overbake to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
- Chocolate chips can be folded in if desired for added flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
