Almond Cinnamon Cookies


  • Author: Kristi McCollom

  • Yield: 25 small 2" cookies 1x

Description

These Almond Cinnamon Cookies use just 6 simple ingredients, but make the perfect nourishing treat!  Made with almond flour and honey, these gut friendly cookies are SCD legal, and a delicious snack you can feel good about enjoying.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups almond flour

3 Tbsp melted butter *see note for dairy free options

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt


Instructions

1. Heat oven to 300 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix all ingredients together until a firm, but not sticky, dough forms.  Add more almond flour if the dough seems sticky.

3. Scoop out about 1 Tbsp portions of dough and roll into balls.

4. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and gently press to flatten.  The cookies should be about a 1/4 inch thick.  TIP: I like to use the flat bottom of a glass to gently press the cookie.  Just put a small piece of parchment paper between the glass and the dough to prevent sticking.

5. Bake cookies at 300 degrees for 7-8 minutes.  NOTE: Honey cooks (and burns) faster than granulated sugar.  So be sure to watch the cookies.  Once they are golden brown remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes.  The cookies will firm up as they cool.

6. Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the fridge for 5-7 days.  These cookies also freeze very well.  When you are ready to eat them, just set the frozen cookies on the counter for a bit to thaw.

7. Enjoy!

Notes

For dairy free cookies, replace butter with ghee or a mild flavor oil like coconut or avocado.
