Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie with your fingertips, as they will not spread much while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
