    32 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Flaked Almonds
  • 2 cups Blanched Almond Flour, 200 grams
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour, 28 grams
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar, Or raw sugar, 100 grams
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 7 1/2 tablespoons Refined Coconut Oil, 105 grams, or 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large Egg, Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tablespoons Raw Sugar, For rolling, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  2. Spread the flaked almonds on another baking sheet and bake for 4-7 minutes or until lightly browned. Watch them carefully as they burn quickly! Remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the rest of the recipe.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the blanched almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and salt. Set aside.
  4. In another medium mixing bowl, stir together the melted fat, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the wet and stir until well combined.
  6. Incorporate the flaked almonds. They will break, which is fine.
  7. Roll the dough into 1" balls and roll in the raw sugar, if using.
  8. Place 2" apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  9. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. If you rolled them in sugar, they'll have crackled a little.
  10. Let the cookies, which will be very soft at this point, cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Notes

  • If you use unrefined rather than refined coconut oil, these cookies may have some coconut taste to them.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
