Recipe Tips
Use blanched almond flour for the best texture. It’s finer and results in softer cookies, compared to almond meal, which is coarser and can make the cookies denser.
Don’t overmix the dough—mix until everything is just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes (optional). While these cookies don’t require chilling, letting the dough rest helps them hold their shape better and results in a thicker cookie.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your preference. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, add an extra tablespoon.
Add your favorite mix-ins: If you want to take these cookies up a notch, try adding some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish!
