Three Ingredient Almond Cookies

Vegan 🌱 Suitable 12+ months 👶🏼 Gluten free ✅ Makes 24 🍪

✨They’re soft, chewy, quick & simple to make (& they got a little dance out of her)✨

This recipe makes 24 mini cookies so the addition of maple syrup goes a long way here. I didn’t provide her maple syrup until after 12 months (actually after 15 months) and not very often (I made these more for me and knew I was going to let her try a couple so I made mini ones). It’s recommended to avoid maple or added sugar before 12 months (and actually closer to 2 years) to avoid toddlers & babies having a preference for sweet food, however I find the occasional cookie like this doesn’t affect her food preferences.

I weigh the ingredients for the best accuracy as the almond flour can be light & fluffy depending on brands, however have included cup measures (Australian standard sizes) for those who don’t have scales. You can also double the sizes and make 12 cookies and cook for around 12-14mins.
