Almond Flour Cranberry Orange Cookies
These grain-free cranberry orange cookies are packed with citrus tangy flavors and just the right amount of sweetness! Soft, chewy, and so flavorful, they are the perfect holiday cookie recipe!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (180g) almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 4 Tbsp (56g, 2oz) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled*
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 4 Tbsp (60ml) pure maple syrup
- Zest of 2 navel oranges about 1.5 to 2 Tbsp
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
Optional Icing
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) orange juice or water
- pinch orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda and sea salt, and mix well. Set aside until ready to use.
- Mix the melted butter, egg, pure maple syrup, and orange zest in a large bowl until combined. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well. Stir in the dried cranberries. A sticky dough will form - this is normal.
- Use a small cookie scoop or two spoons to scoop mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space in between each lump of dough.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown and the cookies appear set up.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes before moving them, as they will be very delicate when warm.
- Optional Orange Glaze:
- If you’d like to make the optional glaze, simply combine ½ cup of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of orange juice or water and some orange zest. Mix well until a smooth consistency results. Drizzle the orange glaze over the cookies and allow the glaze to cool and harden before serving.
