- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For coating the cookies:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Press and mix so that the almond flour lumps break down
- Then add the wet ingredients and mix into a sticky dough. Chill this dough in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. If the dough after half an hour is still a bit too sticky, add in 1 tablespoon of almond flour, or oat flour, and mix in
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar and set aside. Prep your baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 335 degrees Fahrenheit (170 deg C ) . Make equal scoops of the dough and roll it into a ball then flatten it lightly and press into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Coat on either all sides or just one side and then the edges and then place on the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Repeat for all the dough. Depending on the size you’ll get 6 large cookies or 8-10 small .
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes depending o the size of your cookie.
- Remove from the oven. The cookie will be soft when it is just out of the oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes then move it into a cooling rack and let it continue to cool completely.

Notes
- Store on the counter in a covered container for up to a 2 weeks. These cookies are best fresh for the first 4/5 days

- To make this oil-free, substitute the oil with tahini or smooth nut butter just omit the oil and add more maple instead
