Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies to golden perfection.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in melted coconut oil, crack in the egg, and add vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it forms a uniform cookie dough.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, roughly the size of a tablespoon, placing them spaced apart on a baking sheet.
- Flatten Dough Balls: Gently press down each ball with your hand to flatten slightly for even baking and the ideal cookie shape.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar if you prefer a different sweetness level.
- Ensure the coconut oil is fully melted but not hot before mixing to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the almond flour lightly before mixing.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer preservation.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired for variety.
