Let’s see how to prepare this crispy almond cookie recipe
Ingredients you’ll need
- Blanched Almond Flour- 2 cups.
- Baking Powder- ½ teaspoon.
- Syrup Alternative- ⅓ cup. Lankato syrup or Yacon root syrup should work.
- Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
- Almond Extract- 1 teaspoon.
- Chopped Almonds- ¼ cup.
- Preheat your oven to 325 F (165 Degree C) and prep your cookie sheets for nonstick
- In a mixing bowl, use a fork or a whisk to whisk together the almond flour and the baking powder.
- For the next step, we will stir in the syrup alternative. Spray your spoon lightly with nonstick oil first to keep the dough from sticking while you stir it. Stir in the syrup and the extracts then gently stir or fold in the chopped almonds.
- Use a tablespoon or scoop (depending on what you have or the size of the cookie desired) to scoop out the dough (one cookie at a time) and place each cookie on the prepped cookie sheets about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake your almond cookies for 12-14 minutes or until they begin to turn golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookies sheets before transferring to a rack.
