Almond Flour Cookies

These cookies are different than the traditional cookie - they use honey to hold them together rather than eggs and almond flour rather than wheat flour. The almond flour I use is not as finely ground as all-purpose flour, but they taste good and that is the point of the cookie! They are good alone or try adding in some chocolate chips and/ or coconut to them. So good!

 

Almond Flour Cookies
4 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
6 Tbsp. honey
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. almond flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
sprinkle of salt

Mix the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla together in a small bowl. This make a small batch of cookies - I get about 15 when I make them - so you don't need a large bowl. Add in the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Add in a few chocolate chips and a little coconut if you desire. Mix together well. This does not look like traditional cookie dough. It is more grainy looking and the dough separates easily but they turn out just fine when they are baked. I use my cookie scoop and drop the cookies onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Flatten them with the back of a spoon or they will stay in balls. They don't spread out much. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
