Two Ingredient Cookies

It all begins with almond meal and maple syrup….

or you could use hazelnut meal and maple syrup….

^^^^Those are two ingredients but I love to add flaxseed and/or hemp hearts too, but then that’s a three or 4 ingredient cookie.

Cookies crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle, and the simplest cookies you’ll ever make!

Plus, these almond cookies are also egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly!

PREPARE

Before you start, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set aside.

COMBINE

All you have to do is to combine both ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir them with a spatula until the batter is sticky and slightly wet., scoop out one tablespoon of cookie dough, roll it between your hands and place each cookie dough ball onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper slightly oiled with coconut oil.

Leave some space between each cookie as you will flatten them later.

You should form 6 cookie balls with this recipe, and yes, you can double up the recipe to make a larger batch of cookies!

PRESSING DOWN

Now, use your oiled fingers to flatten the cookies. The thinner, the crisper the edges will be, play with thickness to adjust texture and flavor.

BAKING

Now bake the cookies in the center rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until just golden brown on the edges.

Cool down on a wire rack immediately and wait 30 minutes for the best texture. The cookies firm up with time.

But I love to eat them when extremely hot! Sometimes, they don’t make it into the oven

(or peanut butter, banana or oats, but this would add a food processor and complicate it but all are great)

Shhhhh don’t tell anyone but you can quickly add more great flavoring but we still call them 2 ingredient cookies…Of course, you can use this easy cookie recipe with almond flour to create a range of flavorsome almond cookies.

For example, you can add to the batter flavor by adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of:

• Ground cinnamon

• Vanilla extract

• Almond extract

• Lemon extract

• Lemon or orange zest

You can also stir in 3 tablespoons of:

Dark Chocolate Chips

• Unsweetened coconut to make coconut almond cookies.

• Dried fruits like dried raisins, dried cranberries, and finely chopped dates.
