How to Make These Tasty Almond Flour Cookies

These gluten-free almond flour cookies are super easy to make and taste amazing! 

To start, lightly toast the almond flour.

Toasting it just a little bit will make it taste even nuttier and more delicious, and the warm smell is a treat on its own!

Once it’s warm, mix in some almond butter. The warmth helps the almond butter blend smoothly with the flour. Then, pour in some maple syrup for sweetness—it’s the perfect natural way to make these cookies taste just right.

Now, it’s time to add some crunch! Sprinkle in pumpkin seeds and black sesame seeds for texture and extra flavor. Mix everything together well.
