Almond Pecan Cinnamon cookies


Prep Time

10 min.

Cooking Time

12 min.

Yields

22

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup of  Cassava flour
  • 3 Tablespoons of coconut sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond butter (or any type of nut butter)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp almond extract (for nut-free sub 2 tsp vanilla) 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For rolling:

  • 2 parts coconut sugar sugar
  • 1 part cinnamon
  • pecans finely chopped (this is easily done in a food processor)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Place a sheet of parchment paper or silicon mat on a cookie sheet.
  3. In a large bowl add the dry ingredients together and mix well.
  4. In a separate medium sized bowl mix the wet ingredients together until well blended.
  5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Blend well.
  6. Roll into 1 Tbsp sized balls and coat in the cinnamon-pecan-sugar mix.
  • Note: If the dough is too soft to roll into balls, place into the refrigerator for a few minutes. They do not need to hold their shape once placed onto the cookie sheet.
  1. Place on a cookie sheet about 2" apart.
  2. Gently press each ball.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. Once the cookies are cooled store them in an airtight container. They will stay soft and chewy for days!
