Then when I fel like a cookie I cut a few slices and place in the oven in frozen state. I have to say it still cooks up perfectly and tastes and looks the same as freshly baked. Love it. This way we never overeat as I can simply bale four cookies at a time. Thank you for this great recipe.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484660551192157077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-62130120793011606672017-07-08T14:43:37.150-06:002017-07-08T14:43:37.150-06:00Just made these!

My batch made 35 cookies, which I baked for the full 12 minutes - crispy on the outside and ooey-gooey on the inside. So easy to make and SO very delicious!

Like other commenters I ended up with basically almond flour rocks after baking.<br /><br />I think you really need to specify a WEIGHT for your almond flour since grinding your own probably results in a much coarser version of almond flour compared to store-bought. Anyone using store-bought almond flour in this recipe while using the measurements you provide will most likely end up with rocks because the amount of flour is too great in comparison to the other ingredients because the flour is so much finer.<br /><br />I really wanted these to work and kept tweaking them after cookie after cookie failed until I had used an entire pound of coconut flour and untold cups of butter only to end up throwing it all in the trash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-28405447414275887412015-05-27T16:58:06.517-06:002015-05-27T16:58:06.517-06:00What happened?

The "dough" was a only a bowl almond flour with a bit of moisture to make it crumbly. So I squeezed a bit together for each cookie. All I got was some hard, baked mounds of almond flour; no flattening into cookies. Disappointment. Being allergic to all grains, I was really looking forward to being able to eat a cookie of some kind.Susan C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-81995224478057493432013-10-13T21:56:43.265-06:002013-10-13T21:56:43.265-06:00I've never tried making them with anything bes...I've never tried making them with anything besides honey, but I bet you could use maple syrup if you like.

(I don't care for honey, as it IMO is not much healthier than table sugar. It raises your blood sugar just as high). The cookies look DELICIOUS though!

If you are going to buy pre-ground almonds, I think blanched almond flour is preferred as the skins are removed (and the skins contain most of the antinutrients). Almond meal still contains the skins.Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348347054374584427noreply@blogger.com
