Almond Cookies

These are a perfect snack for those avoiding gluten, oil, and processed sugar. Makes 7 mini cookies (give or take.) I love to make these for parties, or bring over to uplift a friend. 

Ingredients:

- 1/4 c Almond meal
- 2 tbsp Almond butter
- 1 tsp Almond extract
- 1 tbsp Ground Chia 
- 2-3 tbsp date syrup
- 3 tbsp gluten free baking flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- slivered almonds for garnish

HOW TO MAKE:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir the almond butter (and some of its oil) with the almond extract, and date syrup until smooth. Combine with the dry ingredients until a sticky dough is formed. You may add more almond flour of gluten free baking flour if it is too wet.  Roll a tablespoon of the dough into a ball and flatten gently with the bottom of a spoon, and lightly press down a slivered or chopped almond. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the Botton is golden brown.
