Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour

- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Add the vanilla extract for a touch of flavor and mix well.
Next, incorporate the almond flour and a pinch of salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until a dough forms, ensuring it is well combined.
Shape the dough into small balls, then flatten each one onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the cookies to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Once done, let them cool on a wire rack before serving. These almond flour shortbread cookies make a delicious, nutritious snack or dessert.
