Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) almond flour
- ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup (120 g) raw honey Note 1
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) coconut oil melted, Note 2
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins (pick one):
- ½ cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup (45 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients, except optional add-ins. The mixture should be thick and evenly moistened. (Note: It's ok if the batter looks crumbly. But if you think your batter is too dry, feel free to add a little more honey or coconut oil. The batter is quite forgiving.)
- If using, stir in optional add-ins like chocolate chips.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, shape the dough into 16 1-inch balls and place 8 cookies per baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or silicone mat.
- Flatten the cookie dough balls.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- The cookies will be quite fragile as they come out of the oven, so cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets first, and then transfer onto wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Note 1: If preferred, use pure maple syrup instead of honey to make the cookies vegan.
Note 2: If you don't need to keep these cookies dairy-free, use melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter instead of coconut oil.
STORING TIP: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Or, freeze for up to 3 months.
