Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 5 tablespoons maple syrup

Here's how to make it: 

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour and maple syrup. Using a fork or small spatula, stir to combine. (You can substitute honey or agave nectar for the maple syrup.)
2. Create six cookies using your damp hands to form the batter into balls, then gently press them flat. The flatter the cookie, the crisper they will be, and the thicker the cookie, the chewier they will be. Place cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (The number of cookies you get depends upon the size of the balls you form.)
3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden brown.
4. Remove and cool on a wire rack. The longer you cool them, the crispier they will become.
5. Enjoy with your favorite beverage or a bit of ice cream. Store in an airtight container for five to seven days (but I don't think they will last that long).
