First things first, let’s take a moment to appreciate this beautiful cookie creation:
Now that you’ve gazed longingly at the photo, let’s talk about what you need to whip up a batch of these delightful treats!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, you can pretend to be a cookie wizard casting spells in the kitchen.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This is where the magic begins, as we combine the dry ingredients to lay the foundation for cookie greatness!
- In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (or honey), almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. This is basically the cookie glue that will keep everything together, so make sure you get it right.
- Now, combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir until it’s all mixed together. You might want to taste test a little bit at this stage… you know, just to make sure it’s not poison.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in the chocolate chips. Because honestly, who doesn’t want more chocolate in their life?
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give them some space because they’ll want to spread their cookie wings while baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and they look like they just emerged from a cookie haven.
- Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely… Or just eat them warm – no judgment here!
And there you have it, folks! Chewy cinnamon almond cookies that are sure to make your day a little sweeter. Get ready to enjoy them with a glass of your favorite milk, or just straight from the cookie jar. Happy baking!
