Almond Flour vs. Almond Meal
When I first worked on this recipe, I didn’t know there was a difference between almond flour and almond meal. They were still relatively “new” ingredients to me, so I thought they could be used interchangeably. And they can… sort of.
The results are just slightly different depending on which you use. Both options are made from ground almonds, but almond flour is made from blanched almonds (almonds with their skins removed) and almond meal is made from whole almonds, including their skins.
Texture-wise, using almond meal will result in a more of a soft and cake-like cookie, while blanched almond flour will result in a crispier and more buttery cookie, similar to shortbread. You can still get a soft and tender inside when baking with almond flour; the final texture will ultimately come down to how long you bake them. The longer you bake them, the crispier these cookies will be.
Compared to other flours, almond flour is higher in calories and fat, so keep in mind that these cookies are more filling than a normal cookie. (Which can be a good thing!)

ALMOND FLOUR COOKIES (WITH NO EGGS!)
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour (or almond meal)
- 1/2 cup Melted butter
- 1/4 cup Sugar powder
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- In a large bowl, seive the almond flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar powder.
- Add melted butter and stir well to create a uniform, sticky dough.
- Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the baking sheet. (They won't spread a lot with baking.)
- Bake until the cookies are firm to the touch around the edges, about 10 minutes at 375ºF.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before attempting to remove them. They will firm up more as they cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature side with tea or coffee. These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, but they will have the best shelf life and texture when stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- we can also add vanilla extract, chocolate chips, maple syrup (in place of sugar powder).
- In place of butter we can also replace with coconut oil .
