Chewy Almond Cookies for Vegans and Paleo Diet
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond meal
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 +1/2 TBS coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 TBS water (only if needed)
Preparation
Preheat oven 180 degrees
In bowl combine dry ingredients (almond meal, baking soda, salt). Mix well
In another bowl, combine wet ingredients (maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla). Mix well
Fold wet ingredients into dry and mix. Dough should be very sticky and difficult to stir. However, if the cookie dough is impossible to stir, add a maximum of 1 TBS water
Line baking sheet with parchment paper, shape dough into little balls about 1 inch in diameter. Using hands, press down into flat disks
Place cookies down on baking sheet with enough space so they're not touching
Bake in oven 8 min (be careful - they burn easily)!
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet out of the oven until they are cooled. It will be tempting, but they keep cooking for a little while they're on the baking sheet, so don't skip this step!
