Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups almond flour (or almond meal)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (or powdered sugar free sweetener)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup butter (or coconut oil), melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp water

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup sugar (or granulated sweetener of choice)
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of the cookies.
  2. Melt the butter or oil: Gently melt the butter or coconut oil until liquid, which will help bind the dough smoothly.
  3. Mix the cookie ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, salt, baking soda, melted butter or oil, vanilla extract, and water. Stir thoroughly until a homogeneous dough forms.
  4. Shape the cookies: Form the dough into small balls using your hands. Flatten each ball gently into round cookie shapes, or press into cookie cutters for desired shapes.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: In a separate small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon until combined.
  6. Coat the cookies: Using a spoon or your fingers, dip each cookie fully into the cinnamon sugar mixture ensuring an even coating all around.
  7. Arrange and bake: Place the coated cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spacing them slightly apart. Bake on the center rack for 12 minutes.
  8. Cool before handling: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring or serving. This lets them firm up and develop their signature chewy texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut oil for butter to make the cookies dairy-free.
  • For a lower sugar option, use powdered and granulated sugar substitutes suitable for baking.
  • Almond flour can be replaced with almond meal, but texture may vary slightly.
  • Ensure cookies cool completely before handling to avoid breakage.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
