Ingredients
You’ll only need three healthy ingredients:
-
1 cup almond flour (finely ground, blanched preferred)
-
2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup (or any zero-calorie liquid sweetener like monk fruit syrup, allulose syrup, or stevia syrup)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended for flavor)
Optional Add-ins (not counted in the 3 ingredients):
Cinnamon or nutmeg (a pinch)
Unsweetened shredded coconut
Sugar-free chocolate chips (about 1–2 tablespoons)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine:
-
Almond flour
-
Sugar-free maple syrup
-
Vanilla extract (if using)
Stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not runny. If it’s too dry, add 1 more tsp of syrup. If too wet, add a tablespoon of almond flour.
Step 3: Shape the Cookies
-
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie.
-
Roll into balls and flatten gently with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
-
Space cookies about 1 inch apart.
Pro Tip: Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern for a classic cookie look.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
They will firm up as they cool!
