Why this 3 ingredient almond flour cookie recipe works

All year long, I am always working on new recipes to serve at our next celebration, like Rosh Hashanah or Passover.

I mean, everything from pistachio cake to apple crumble to chocolate babka- it's all just so delicious!

Today's recipe is a special one- almond flour cookies. Made with only three ingredients, this recipe is the perfect last-minute treat to whip up for your holiday festivities.

Healthier Twist on Teiglach

If you're looking for a healthier variation of Teiglach (also can be written Tayglach), a beloved Jewish dessert featuring dough balls boiled in honey syrup and adorned with nuts and dried fruits, consider this alternative. While not an exact replica of the traditional recipe, these cookies capture the essence of Teiglach in terms of flavors. The best part? They're gluten-free, parve, and require no frying or boiling. The cookie dough, crafted with honey and nuts, closely resembles the authentic Teiglach, making it an excellent option for those seeking a healthier take on these delectable treats.

Tips for making the best honey almond cookies

Here are some of the best tips for making these deliciously sweet almond flour cookies...

Use different applesauce

To change up this recipe, consider using cinnamon applesauce instead of a traditional one. This way, you get a hint of spice in your cookies that will take them to the next level.

Use pure honey to sweeten

Honey is the best way to naturally sweeten these cookies and bring out the nutty flavor of almond flour. Make sure that you use pure honey, as it will taste better in this recipe. I like to buy local honey when possible!

Don't overmix

You want to mix the ingredients just until they are combined so that you don't disrupt the nutty texture of the almond flour.

Bake for the right amount of time

These cookies should only take about 10 minutes in a 350°F oven. Be sure to keep an eye on them as they bake so they don't burn!

FAQs

Here are some questions people often ask about how to make these sweet almond flour cookies with honey...

What can I use instead of honey?

If you’re looking for a different sweetener, agave syrup or maple syrup are both great alternatives.

Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?

Almond meal is coarser than almond flour, so it won't give the same texture to your cookies. I recommend using almond flour in this recipe for best results.

For this almond flour cookie recipe, I recommend unsweetened applesauce. That way, you can control the sweetness level of your cookies by adjusting the amount of honey used.
