Maple Pecan Gluten Free Shortbread

Maple Pecan Gluten Free Shortbread combines almond flour and chopped raw pecans with pure maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla to form a sticky dough. The dough is chilled, sliced into thin rounds, and baked until the edges achieve a delicate golden crisp, producing cookies with a tender yet crumbly texture and a warm nutty-sweet flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour finely ground

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch salt sea salt
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, add first four ingredients and stir together. Add the remaining (wet ingredients) and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Make a ball out of the dough, pressing it together, then place it on a sheet of plastic wrap and form a cylinder or a log (the log will be over a foot long, so if you'd like, you can cut it in two so that the logs are easier to manage/less deicate). Wrap the log tightly in the plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap the cookie dough, place it on a cutting board, and slice 1/4-inch thick slices to form cookie shapes. Place dough on a baking sheet and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  4. Remove cookies from the oven, and allow them to sit 15 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet with a spatula.
