Ingredients
1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter
2/3 cup (130g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 cup (75g) almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon (15ml) light or dark corn syrup or milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional: 1/2 cup Nutella or melted chocolate
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in brown sugar, almond flour, salt, and corn syrup (or milk). Cook and whisk for 3–4 minutes until smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla. Let sit 5–10 minutes while oven preheats to 350°F (177°C).
- Line 2–3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Drop scant teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.
- Bake 6–8 minutes, until edges are golden and centers bubbling.
- Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cookies crisp as they cool.
- Enjoy plain, drizzle with chocolate, or sandwich with Nutella or melted chocolate once cooled.
Notes
For a festive touch, add cinnamon or orange zest to the batter.
Use oat flour in place of almond flour if desired.
Dip half of each cookie in chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt for an elegant finish.
Corn syrup yields slightly crisper cookies, but milk works as a substitute.
Store in a tightly sealed container to keep them crisp.
