Ingredients
Cookie Batter
- 1 ¼ cup blanched almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour finely ground
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg large
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- 5 tbsp butter browned
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
Candied Pecans
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
Instructions
- First, make your browned butter. In a small sauce pan add the butter over medium to low heat. Stirring constantly. Bring the butter to a bowl and keep a close eye on it for browning. You will notice it will start to smell sweet and nutty. Once browned add it to a large mixing bowl to cool.
- In the same sauce pan, candy the pecans. Add the pecans, butter and coconut sugar over medium to low heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fully coated and the butter is melted. Set aside to cool.
- Now, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix and set aside.
- Once the browned butter has cooled for about 10 minutes. Add in the egg, coconut sugar, vanilla and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until combined.
- Now fold in the dry flour ingredients into the wet ingredients. Then fold in the candied pecans.
- Scoop 18 cookies onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying!
