Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil (or more butter, if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon marmalade
- ½ teaspoon baking soda bicarbonate of soda
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ¾ cup all purpose flour plain flour (or just under)
- ¼ cup ground almonds almond flour
Instructions
- Melt butter, coconut oil, syrup and sugar in a pan until all are melted and combined. Allow to cool until cool enough to handle.
- Add the almonds, marmalade, baking soda and spices and gradually add in the flour and ground almonds, stirring as you go, until combined.
- Tip out and kneed slightly and form into a log - it will still be a bit soft. Wrap in plastic and chill overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F/180C.
- Re-shape the log of cookie dough if needed and cut it into thin slices and place on a lined baking sheet with some space in between to allow for a little spreading.
- Bake for around 10 minutes, watching them in the last few minutes as they can burn. They should just be starting to darken a little, look relatively dry but will still be soft to touch
- Cool on a cooling rack and store in a sealed container.
