Servings: 12
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour Certified gluten-free if needed
- 1 tbsp tapioca or cornstarch
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or use chai spice or cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Chocolate Portion
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Optional Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix all the dry ingreients for the cookies until well combined.
- Add the oil and 1/4 cup of maple syrup and mix well. Add the rest of the 1 tbsp maple syrup, and mix until the dough is a sticky mixture.
- Divide the dough into two bowls. In one of the bowls, add the cocoa powder and mix well. Add a few drops of water, and a tsp or so more of maple syrup to make a sticky dough. The dough should be soft and sticky, and not stiff. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes so that the dough is easier to handle. You'll want to refrigerate the dough for at least 20-30 minutes if the dough is too sticky.
- In a small bowl, mix your cinnamon sugar mixture if using.
- Take the dough mixture out of the fridge. Wet your hands take a tbsp of each of the dough and combine them to make one ball. Repeat until you have at least 9 or 10 balls. Coat one side of the ball with cinnamon sugar mixture, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Press a fork to press the ball down. Press it down to a pretty thin cookie. Then bake at 350 degrees F (180c) for 13-14 minutes.
- Remove the sheet from the oven, let the cookies cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- These cookies can be stored on the counter for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- The Cinnamon Sugar Coating is optional but I feel it really takes these to the next level. You can use brown sugar, or coconut sugar mixed with some cinnamon.
- You can make your own pumpkin spice by blending 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Cardamom would be another nice addition. Mix all the ingredients and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months
