Before you start

This recipe makes about 24 cookies, on two baking sheets of standard dimension.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix the oil, maple syrup and vanilla.
  4. Add the dry mix into the liquid one. Mix well. Incorporate the chocolate chips and slivered almonds.
  5. Form cookie balls with about 1 tbsp of the dough and set them on the baking sheets. Press lightly on each ball to flatten it.
  6. Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven until they turn light brown around the edges, about 8-10 min. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 20 min.
  7. Serve.
