3-Ingredient Almond Cookies
These nutty and rich 3-ingredient almond cookies have crisp edges and soft middles, are SO easy to make, and deliver big on flavor. Plus, they are gluten-free, dairy-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan!
Servings 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) almond flour (ground almonds)
- ⅓ cup (75 g) dairy-free yogurt (e.g. Greek yogurt)
- 2 ½ Tbsp (50 g) rice syrup (see notes)
Instructions
- You can watch the short video for visual instructions.First, preheat the oven to 356 °F / 180 °C. For the best results, measure ingredients by weight rather than volume.
- Then, in a large mixing bowl, mix the almond flour, yogurt, and syrup to form a dough.If the dough seems too sticky, add more flour. If it's dry, add more yogurt, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Divide the cookie dough into 10, roll them into dough balls, flatten, and smooth the edges by hand.
- Bake the almond cookies for 15 minutes on a lined baking sheet, then let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Finally, optionally (but highly recommended!), dip half of each cookie into melted (dairy-free) chocolate.
- Sprinkle the chocolate dipped cookies with chopped almonds (or other nuts/seeds/freeze-dried fruit, shredded coconut, etc.), and refrigerate until set. Enjoy!
Notes
- Rice syrup: Maple syrup, agave syrup, and other liquid sweeteners should also work but may slightly affect the texture and color of the cookies.
- Adjust the sweetness: These cookies aren’t overly sweet, so if you don’t plan to dip them in chocolate, you may prefer adding some granulated sugar (e.g. regular sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar or a sugar substitute such as Erythritol), to taste.
- To adjust the texture: A lower baking time equals softer cookies. A little more time will make firmer, crunchier cookies.
- Yogurt amount varies: If the dough feels dry, add a little more—one teaspoon at a time.
