Almond Maple Nut Butter Cookies

Prep time: | Cook time: | Serves 4-6

  • 1 cup almond meal
  • ½ cup almond butter (or any nut butter you have on hand)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • (Optional) splash of vanilla extract
  • (Optional) pinch of baking soda
  • Optional add-ins:
  • chocolate chips
  • chopped walnuts
  • dried fruit
  1. These cookies are soft, nourishing, and endlessly adaptable. Perfect for slow mornings or sharing with a friend over tea. Preheat your oven to 175°C.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the almond meal, almond butter, and maple syrup until smooth and sticky.

  3. If using, add a splash of vanilla and a pinch of baking soda.

  4. Fold in your choice of extras or whatever you’re feeling that day.

  5. Roll the dough into small balls, place on a lined baking tray, and gently press them down with your fingers.

  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just golden around the edges.

  7. Let them cool (if you can wait!) — they’ll firm up as they rest.
    Simple, satisfying, and made to be shared.
