Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of any lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly. Add honey to the beaten egg and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir carefully with a spatula or wooden spoon until a consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold the raisins into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
- Gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a fork to create a traditional cookie shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality almond and coconut flour for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature to help create a smoother dough.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make the cookies tough.
- For evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop or weigh each dough ball.
- Let the cookies cool completely to allow them to set and develop their ideal texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can add a light drizzle of honey after baking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out.
- For extra flavor, try toasting the raisins lightly before adding them to the dough.
