### Almond flour vs almond meal
You can use both because almond flour or also known as almond meal are both made out of grounded almonds. Most companies use the terms interchangeably but [in the US for example, there is a slight difference between almond meal and almond flour]( Almond flour is sold with the finest grind of blanched almond while almond meal is slightly coarser as the skin is also blended together. For this recipe, you would want to get almond meal for the best flavours. Traditionally, you can feel the crumbs of almond in the cookies as you chew on them. Moreover, the blended skin makes the cookies very attractive too.
### Homemade almond flour
Almond flour can be made at home. Just blend the almonds finely but do be careful not to blend them for too long or it would end up as almond butter.
### Can I use corn/tapioca flour instead of wheat flour?
You may but it is going to change the texture of the cookies. This recipe delivers the light crunchiness on the outside while crumbly and soft on the inside. Using corn or tapioca flour will not deliver this effect. Wheat flour is required to create structure in the cookies as almond flour (or almond meal as known in the US) does not bind well.
### Must I use baking powder and/or baking soda?
Yes! Baking soda is needed to raise the dough to give it the soft and crumbly texture. However, baking soda reacts immediately and fizzles off pretty quickly. Since the baking process happens slowly, you'd want to extend the effect of baking soda. To counter the quick reaction of baking soda and extend it, baking powder is required as one of the acids in it reacts to heat. This makes the dough rise as it is baking.
### Which type of oil?
Peanut oil would be the best choice to accompany the nutty flavour of almonds. However, any neutral-flavored oils such as canola, sunflower or corn oil would be great too.
### How to store the cookies?
Almond cookies must be cooled to room temperature before stacking them up in an airtight container. They can be kept for 4-6 weeks in a cool area, away from the sunlight. Enjoy the cookies with a good cup of quality Chinese tea.

---------------------------------- RECIPE ------------------------------------
Ingredients
* 1 1/3 cup (120g) almond flour (‼️NOT PACKED‼️)
* 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
* 2 tablespoons (30 ml) coconut oil, melted
* Pinch of salt
NOTE:
1. Please, use the Digital kitchen scale fo the best results!
2. Instead of maple syrup take 2 tbsp sugar/low-carb sugar and 1 tbsp water.
3. Instead of coconut oil take Ghee or yellow part of melted butter. Vegetable oil don't work in this recipe.
4. Don't let the dough chill too long. Coconut oil will solid at room temperature and the dough will be crumbly and will not come together.
5. Don't pack down almond flour!
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients, stirring to combine (be sure to break up any lumps in the flour and/or sugar).
3. Shape dough into about 16 balls. Space balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Flatten halfway (e.g., with a fork, cookie stamp, the flat bottom of a measuring cup, or fingertips)
4. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers no longer look wet. The cookies will still seem somewhat soft, but that is due to the high amount of fat (almond flour + coconut oil). They will become firm once completely cooled.
5. Remove from oven and cool on sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
Storage: The cookies are best stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks (or the freezer for up to 6 months).
ENJOY!
