Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar-free maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and chopped pecans, if using.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
