Ingredients
- 1 Cup almond flour If you use almond meal instead, the texture will be less fine and a bit coarser
- ⅓ Cup icing sugar Please sift or there will be sweet lumps in your dough. Do not replace 1:1 with caster sugar or it'll taste too sweet.
- 1 egg Make it 2 eggs if you plan to egg wash the cookies.
- sliced almonds or whole almonds Optional topping that will give the cookies more texture.
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F/ 177C/ 157C fan.
- Mix the ingredients well till you get a soft moist dough. (It will be stiff and look like there's not enough liquid to bind everything together at first but keep going and you'll get there.)
- Scoop the dough into balls and place them about 1 inch apart on a baking sheet. (They don't spread much.)
- Optional: top with a sliced/ whole almond then brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or till nice and golden.

Notes
- Variations
- Note: the nutritional information is an estimate automatically calculated using the WPRM recipe maker and I am not responsible for its accuracy.
- Add in some orange zest
- Add chopped almonds into the dough
- Add dark chocolate chips for almond chocolate chip cookies: I don't recommend milk chocolate as the cookie is quite sweet already.
- Roll the baked cookies in Dark Chocolate syrup then cover with chopped nuts.
- Sprinkle cocoa nibs in the dough: the faint bitterness is a nice contrast to the sweetness of the almond.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Almond flour peanut butter cookies: substitute the egg for peanut butter and the icing sugar for maple syrup.
