Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
- Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Shape and Coat the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake: Gently flatten each cookie with your hand or the back of a spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Paleo Snickerdoodles are perfect for anyone craving a healthy, indulgent treat that tastes just like the original!
