Cook time: 12 minutes

Servings: 24

Ingredients

• 1 sheet parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar or coconut sugar for a healthier option
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp baking powder
• 2 egg
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 24 whole almonds for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk until evenly mixed.
3. Add eggs and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand. Press a whole almond into the center of each cookie.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will be soft when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
