1/4 teaspoon baking soda (gluten-free, if necessary)
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract or almond flavoring
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
12 to 15 whole almonds; sprouted or soaked and dehydrated
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl combine almond flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix well, breaking up any lumps.
In a small bowl, place coconut oil, vanilla, almond extract or flavoring, and maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Roll level-tablespoon-sized (using a measuring spoon) portions of dough into balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the heel of your hand and press one almond into the center of each cookie.
Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
