Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup coconut sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons additional coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon additional ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and sea salt.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, mix the additional coconut sugar (2 tablespoons) and cinnamon (1 teaspoon) for rolling the cookies.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Step 7

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press each ball down with your palm or the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies have slightly puffed. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your healthier take on the classic Snickerdoodles!
