Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon (or up to 1 tsp.)
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt fine grain
Wet ingredients:
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1-2 tsp. vanilla extract optional, pure
Toppings (optional):
- chocolate chips vegan, or nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients. Stir.
- Slowly add maple syrup (and optional vanilla), while stirring to combine. Stir well with a spatula until a sticky ball forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or Silpat).
- Scoop out rounded tablespoons of dough and form small balls about 1.25" in size. (Lightly wet hands to prevent sticking.) Place on baking sheet.
- Gently press down each ball with a flat-bottomed glass to flatten cookie to about 2" diameter. (I place a piece of parchment paper between the glass and cookie to prevent sticking.) Then press down chocolate chips or nuts on top (optional).
- Bake for 11-13 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes to firm up. Then transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

Notes
- *Almond flour: Most of the time I use natural (unblanched) super-fine almond flour from Bob's Red Mill, but blanched flour works too.
- Chilling the dough: You can also prepare the dough in advance (through step 3, without preheating the oven). Then cover and refrigerate dough for up to 1-2 days.
- over and refrigerate dough for up to 1-2 days.
