How to Make Almond Chickpea Flour Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened butter or non-hydrogenated margarine and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg yolk until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (150g) chickpea flour, 1 cup (120g) finely ground almonds, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water, one at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Roll the dough into balls slightly smaller than walnuts but larger than hazelnuts. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Gently flatten each ball with a fork or your fingers.
  7. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
