The Best Primal Cookie

I found this recipe on the MDA forum, posted by TabithaToes. I haven't tried it yet, but have a mind to tomorrow. :) This reportedly makes 8-10 cookies and is easily modified by changing extracts and nut combinations, subbing out the chopped nuts with dried fruit, or adding cocoa powder.  Some folks even froze the dough after rolling it into balls, for easy future cookies or a quick, frosty snack. 

The Best Primal Cookie

1 1/4 cup Almond Flour/Meal
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (essential!)
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Honey
1/4 cup chopped Pecans

Stir ALL ingredients together until smooth.Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a really well buttered/greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart from eachother. They really like to stick to the pan, so use parchment paper if you have it. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness. Allow to cool before removing from pan.

These are soft, fluffy, and chewy around the edges. Also great with chocolate chips!
 



Another forum member made some alterations and came up with this adaptation:

The Best Primal Cookies 

1 1/4 cup Almond Flour/Meal
1 T Butter
1 T Coconut Oil
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 large Egg
2 T Sweetener of Choice (Stevia or Honey or Maple Syrup, etc)
1/4 cup Chopped Pecans
2 T Cocoa Powder

Stir ALL ingredients together until smooth.

Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a really well buttered/greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart from each other and lightly press down. They really like to stick to the pan, so use parchment paper or a silpat if you have it. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness. Allow to cool before removing from pan.
