Made from almond meal, these vegan almond cookies are naturally gluten-free. You can make them with or without a powdered sugar coating. They are perfect for holidays, school lunches, or just as a healthier treat.
I originally created this recipe to use in my vegan platinum pudding recipe, but later realized that they are so tasty that they can stand on their own!
These vegan almond cookies are made from almond meal and are perfect for holidays, school lunches, or just as a healthier treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond meal
- ⅓ cup caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons flaxseed meal
- ½ teaspoon almond extract or amaretto
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350° Fahrenheit (180C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until a thick paste is formed.
- Scoop teaspoon-sized balls of the mixture onto the sheet spaced about 2cm. Roll them into balls and coat the balls in powdered sugar (optional). Press down gently on each ball to flatten slightly and crack the sides.
- Bake until golden brown, about 17-20 minutes. Cool them in the turned-off oven to dry them out more or let them dry on a cooling rack.
