Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a mixing bowl, then mix well.
  • Add the coconut flour and mix well.
  • Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  • Scoop out a heaping teaspoon of dough into your hands, then roll it into a ball shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Use your fingers to flatten the dough ball into a round cookie shape.
  • Repeat with the rest of the dough (you should end up with about 11 cookies).
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
  • Let the cookies cool off for at least 20 minutes before removing from the baking sheet and serving.

Notes

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.
