DIRECTIONS

• Step No.1: Preheat and prepare
  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Step No.2: Mix dry ingredients
  In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.

• Step No.3: Add wet ingredients
  Stir in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.

  Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet and flatten slightly.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Use finely ground almond flour: This ensures smooth texture and even baking in every cookie.

• Don’t overbake: Remove when edges are golden. They’ll continue to firm as they cool.

• Sweeten to taste: Adjust maple syrup to your desired sweetness without compromising consistency.

• Let them cool: Cooling allows cookies to firm up and hold together better.

• Add extras last: Mix in chocolate chips or nuts after the dough is formed for best distribution.

• Use parchment paper: Prevents sticking and helps cookies bake evenly.

• Chill the dough (optional): If dough feels sticky, chill for 15 minutes before shaping.

• Nutty Delight: Stir in ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.

• Coconut Almond: Add 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut for a tropical hint.
