Pin Recipe
Servings: 9 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour - or cornstarch
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon almond extract - or vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 9 vegan caramels
- Sea salt flakes - to top, optional, but highly recommended
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca flour, almond butter, maple syrup, almond or vanilla extract, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, form nine cookie dough balls and place them on the lined baking tray. Press them down gently to form the cookies (using a fork, for instance). No need to separate them too much since they'll only spread a little while baking.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the cookies are in the oven, cut the caramels into smaller pieces and set aside.
- Once the cookies are ready, immediately top with the caramel pieces and sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top.
- Let cool for at least 5 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
You can replace the tapioca flour with cornstarch or even omit, but don’t add more almond flour to substitute.
If the oil has risen to the top of your almond butter jar, be sure to mix it into the almond butter before using it.
