The best and easy Almond Flour Cookies which are soft and chewy. Vegan , gluten free and takes just few minutes to make.
Servings: 9 cookies
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup loosely packed almond flour see notes
- 3 tbsp powdered jaggery ( can substitute with coconut sugar or brown sugar) add another 1 tbsp of Jaggery if you like it on the sweeter side
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- pinch of salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- 3 tbsp hot water
- 2 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Loosely spoon almond flour ( do not pack) to a dry measuring cup to measure.
- Add the almond flour, jaggery, salt, baking powder, oil and cardamom to a bowl. Mix it well.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of water and mix it for 30 seconds. If the mixture is stiff add little more water. I added another tablespoon of water and mixed it again for 20 seconds. ( If the dough is too thick, the cookies will not spread) Check for sweetness and adjust.
- 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.
- Take about 2 teaspoons of the dough and make a ball. Place it on the parchment paper. Repeat with rest of the dough. Gently press the dough to flatten it.
- Bake at 350 F for 14 to 16 minutes. You will see the cookies start to get light brown on the sides. Do not over bake.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the sheet and then cool them on a wire rack for at least fifteen before enjoying them.
