Almond flour is one of my favorite things to have in my pantry. I use it in smoothies, curry, energy bites and many Indian desserts.

If you follow me, you know that I like to share desserts which are simple and made with minimal ingredients.

These cookies made with almond flour totally fall in this category. It takes 2 minutes to gather the ingredients and two minutes to put it together

This recipe was inspired by Upasana Kamineni Konidela from urlife.co.in

Ingredients:

ingredients needed to make almond cookies with almond flour

Ingredient notes:

Almond flour – used store bought almond flour (not almond meal). The brand is Kirkland from Costco.

Jaggery – I have used powdered jaggery which I get in Indian store. You can also substitute with coconut sugar or brown sugar.

Cardamom – for flavor. Don’t have it ? you can add vanilla extract or cinnamon.

Step by Step Photo Instructions:

Loosely spoon almond flour ( do not pack) to a dry measuring cup to measure.

1 & 2 – Add the almond flour, jaggery, salt, baking soda, oil and cardamom to a bowl. Mix it well.

3- Add about 2 table spoons of water and mix it for 30 seconds. If the mixture is stiff add little more water. I added another table spoon of water and mixed it again for 20 seconds. ( If the dough is too thick, the cookies will not spread) At this point you can taste the dough and check for sweetness and add if you need. Mix it again.

4- The dough should be little sticky, but not falling apart.

At this point you can add some chocolate chips. I made half the batch plain and for the rest I added chocolate chips. I got about 9 cookies from these measurements.

5- Take about 2 tea spoons of the dough and make a ball. Place it on the parchment paper. Repeat with rest of the dough.

6 Gently press the dough to flatten it, like shown in the picture 6.

7-Bake at 350 F for 14 to 16 minutes.

8- You will see the cookies start to get light brown on the sides. Do not over bake.

9- Let cookies cool slightly on the sheet and then cool them on a wire rack for at least fifteen minutes before enjoying them.

10- Enjoy these soft and chewy cookies with a cup of cold milk.

Storage :

    This came out well for me the 2nd time. I had to adjust the Oven temperature to 320 and 12 mins instead of 350 and 14 minutes. That setting burnt the cookies at the bottom. Overall a good hit in my house.

      Sorry to hear that. Looks like it was over baked. Sometimes it depends on the oven too…. I have made these cookies many times and this recipe has always worked for me.
