Servings 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups Almond Flour (see note 1)
  • ¼ cup Maple Syrup (see note 2)
  • ½ cup Dairy-Free Butter (Unsalted), melted (see note 3)
  • ½ teaspoon Almond Extract (see note 4)
  • 3 tablespoons Sliced Almonds
  • 1 dusting Powdered Sugar (see note 5)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, melted dairy-free butter, maple syrup, and almond extract. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small cylinder, about 1.5 inches in length.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, place the dough cylinders with some space between them. Gently bend each into a crescent shape using your fingers.
  • Press sliced almonds lightly onto the tops of each crescent. Be sure they stick to the dough.
  • Bake on the center rack for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  • Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for that final decorative touch. Enjoy!
