List of Ingredients
2 ½ cups almond flour
½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup virgin coconut oil
5 tablespoons agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extractRecipe
Preheat oven to 350F
In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, baking soda, sea salt & cinnamon.
Melt coconut oil over low flame.
Stir in agave nectar and vanilla.
Stir wet into dry and mix well.
Put dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes to chill.
Roll a teaspoon at a time into ½-inch balls, flatten into little disks about one eighth of an inch thick, and place on a baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper.
Bake about 6 or 7 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temp.
These store well in an airtight glass container.
Makes about 30.
Author's Notes: I adapted this recipe from another gluten-free cookie recipe with one of my clients whose daughter-in-law created the original.
Agave has a lower glycemic index, and is better for people who have to watch their blood sugar levels, than most other sweeteners, (except for stevia, which is the safest). Though agave nectar is not on my Food to Include list for a true anti-candida eating program, it's a good choice as a transitional sweetener.
