Serves: about 20 small cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour/almond meal
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1½ tbsp maple syrup or honey (if you don't need them to be vegan)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla or almond extract
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 300F/150C, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Cut down the long edge of a sandwich bag to make (like picture), and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla extract, stir with a spoon, and then knead the dough together with your hands until you get a sticky ball
  3. Remove the dough, and put in your cut sandwich bag. Roll out to about ¼ inch thick, and then lift the top flap of our sandwich bag. Cut out as many shapes as you can, and place them on the baking sheet. Reform the dough to a ball, and roll it out again, cut as many shapes as you can. Repeat this process until all of your dough is cut into shapes
  4. Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden. The center may still seem a bit soft, but thats ok. Remove from the oven and let them cool for just a minute before you carefully remove them to cool completely on a wire rack
