Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) almond flour
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and salt.
- Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- Mix until a soft dough forms that holds together when pressed.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a short log, and gently shape into a crescent.
- Place on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough, spacing cookies slightly apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until bottoms are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use almond meal for a more rustic texture.
- If dough is too soft, chill for 10 minutes before shaping.
- To make cookies crispier, bake an extra 1–2 minutes.
- Lightly dust with powdered coconut sugar for a classic finish.
