Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup raw honey
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Finely chop the almonds and set aside to release more flavor during baking.
- Cream Butter and Honey: In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and raw honey together until creamy and smooth to ensure moist, well-bound dough.
- Add the Egg and Vanilla: Stir in one egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, glossy batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients without overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
- Fold in Chopped Almonds: Gently fold chopped almonds into the dough for even crunchy texture in every cookie.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop dough by tablespoon onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies about two inches apart. Bake 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to firm up, maintaining chewy texture.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and tender.
- Use fresh almonds; toasting before chopping enhances aroma and flavor.
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for better creaming with honey.
- Adjust honey amount if a less sweet cookie is preferred.
- Bake at consistent temperature to avoid burnt edges and ensure even baking.
