The star ingredient in these cookies is almond flour, which provides a rich, nutty flavor and contributes to the cookies' unique texture. Cinnamon adds a warm, comforting note, and the vanilla and almond extracts intensify the overall flavor complexity.
What sets these cookies apart is the addition of chopped Daily Crunch Almonds, which add an extra layer of crunch and flavor. The simple preparation method involves mixing dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them, ensuring a consistent texture throughout the dough. By shaping the dough into balls and gently flattening them, you create perfectly formed cookies that maintain their shape during baking. The final touch of pressing almond halves into the top of each cookie not only enhances their appearance but also reinforces the almond theme of this delightful treat.
Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with coconut oil.
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Thoroughly combine all wet ingredients using a handheld or stand mixer. With the mixer on low, slowly add in your flour mixture until everything is just combined. Make sure to not over mix.
Stir in chopped almonds.
Take a spoonful of dough and roll into a ball. Add two almond halves to the top and slightly press them into the dough.
With the palm of your hand, lightly press down the dough. This dough will not spread and will bake exactly how you put them into the oven.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden-brown.
