2 Ingredient Almond Flour Cookies
These easy 2 Ingredient Cookies are made with almond flour and maple syrup for one of the simplest cookie recipes you can make. They’re naturally dairy free and egg free and are sweetened with pure maple syrup instead of white or brown sugar. Add a little vanilla if you want extra flavor, then bake them for about 12 minutes for softer cookies or a little longer for crispier edges.

Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the almond flour, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, if using, to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix until a soft, slightly sticky cookie dough forms and no dry almond flour remains.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each dough ball using your fingers or the back of a spoon. The cookies won’t spread much while baking.
- Bake for about 12 minutes for softer cookies or up to 15 minutes for firmer cookies with crispier edges. The edges should be lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Allow them to cool completely before serving. The cookies will firm up more as they cool.
Notes
- The basic recipe only requires almond flour and maple syrup. Vanilla extract is optional.
- Use finely ground blanched almond flour rather than coarse almond meal for the best texture.
- The cookies don’t spread much while baking, so flatten them to your desired thickness before putting them in the oven.
- The cookies will feel soft when they first come out of the oven. Let them cool completely before serving because they firm up as they cool.
