    4. Scoop one teaspoon of the dough, roll it between your palms and gently flatten with hands.
    5. Place it on the parchment lined baking sheet.

    7. Pre-heat the oven at 350 degrees F.
    8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 mins or until slightly golden on the top.
    9. Take them out and allow them to cool for 3-4 minutes on the cookie sheet itself before moving them to the cooling rack.
    10. Be careful when hot they may crumble if you touch them. They are very fragile when hot.
    11. Prepare the chocolate sauce in the double broiler method.
    12. Heat a saucepan with 1 cup water over a medium flame.
    13. When the water starts to boil place a heatproof bowl on the saucepan.
    14. Place the chocolate chips in the heatproof bowl.

    18. Drizzle some tiny chopped almonds on the top of the chocolate dipped almond flour cookies.
    Enjoy!

Notes

  • They are very fragile when hot, don't try to transfer them to the cooling rack immediately, they will definitely crumble and fall apart.
  • Allow them to cool at least 2-3 mins and then transfer them immediately, if transferred later they will become soggy pretty fast from the moisture underneath.
  • Almond flour baked goodies absorbs moisture instantly, so once the cookies are completely cold, transfer them in an airtight jar immediately.
  • If left at room temperature they will become soft and lose all the crunch.
    *If you want extra crisp cookies try to make them thin.
  • The baking time may vary according to your oven. So, trust your instinct and set the baking time accordingly.
