Marrying my toddler's current interests of cooking/baking and herbs, we had fun making these simple cookies that are easy to modify to your own tastes and decorate to your fancy!

Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Tea Time
Serves: 12-15
Ingredients
  • 2 cups finely ground almond flour
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup organic cane sugar
  • water
  • edible flowers to decorate (we used borage, chamomile and mullien)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the almond flour, coconut, cinnamon and baking powder together in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Then stir in the maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until a sticky dough forms and holds together (comes together really quickly in a stand mixer).
  4. Roll one tablespoon of the dough into a round ball and then place them onto the prepared baking sheet about one inch apart.
  5. Then place your thumb on top of the cookie and press down to make an indentation.
  6. Bake until the edges are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool baking sheet between batches.
  7. While cookies are baking make the simple syrup. Place the sugar in a small saucepan, then add enough water to moisten all the sugar and cook over low-medium heat until the sugar is melted.
  8. Once cookies have cooled, place edible flowers on the cookies and drizzle the simple syrup on top to glue the flowers to the cookies.
  9. Let set 15-20 minutes before eating.
