Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups (120 g) oat flour
• 60 g room temperature dairy or non-dairy butter
• 50 g (~⅓ cup) chopped almonds
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• Pinch of salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 30 g dark chocolate chips (optional for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix oat flour and room temperature butter until crumbly, using clean hands or a spatula.
3. Add chopped almonds, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and baking powder to the bowl. Gradually pour in maple syrup while mixing, creating a slightly sticky dough.
4. Let the dough rest in the fridge for about half an hour to harden and make it easier to shape into cookies.
5. After chilling, shape the dough into large (or preferred size) cookies and gently press dark chocolate chips onto each cookie.
6. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes at 350°F or until the edges turn golden brown.
