- Take small portions of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each ball using your palm or the bottom of a glass to form a round cookie.
- Place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes – 1 hour.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Keep an eye on the cookies as almond flour can cause them to brown quickly.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your homemade eggless almond cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
