So before we get to the recipe, I have a very special request to make. I am honored to be nominated for the annual Homies awards. It has been a dream of mine since starting this website and I can almost taste it. The nomination period ends February 8th at 1159 PM EST and if I am in the top 5, I advance to the finals for you to come back and vote for me. If you feel I am deserving, the next 24 hours are crucial for the nominations. If you could, please take 3 minutes and vote for me in the 3 categories I am in.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I will be so honored and promise to just try and become better for you. So without further stalling, here is the recipe which I guest posted on Against All Grain.
I am not going to deter from your cooking, so this is just a filler sentence, but if you are still reading thank you so much for being so awesome and voting for me if you did.
Almond Cookies with Cinnamon Glaze
Ingredients
Cookies
- 2 ½ cups almond flour 250 grams
- ¼ cup coconut flour 35 grams
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 8 grams
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup macadamia nut oil 2 oz or coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey melted
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla
- 2 eggs
Cinnamon Glaze
- 2 tablespoons honey melted
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed butter melted or ghee
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Combine your almond flour, coconut four, baking powder, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and stir well
- Add your oil, honey, almond extract (or vanilla) and eggs and mix into a soft dough
- Dust your work surface with almond flour and lay your dough out, pressing to just shy of ½ inch thick all around
- Cut into circles and lay on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. I didn’t have a cookie cutter so I used the lid of a small mason jar
- Place in the oven and bake for 9 minutes
- With your cookies in the oven, combine your honey, butter, and cinnamon for your glaze in a small bowl and mix well
- At the 9 minute mark, pull your cookies out of the oven, and using a basting brush, brush your glaze on all of your cookies
- Place your cookies back in the oven and bake for 9-11 minutes or until done
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with some almond flour or shredded coconut and drizzle your remaining glaze over your cookies
- Serve immediately or place in an airtight container which will last 3-4 days

Thanks! and please do!
Wow!! These are amazingly delicious! Love the nutella chocolate chip cookies. And the banana bread…..hands down the best and most satisfying one I’ve had. Thank you for sharing these recipes
Your so welcome
These are my favorite cookies!! We make them frequently, have shared with several friends, and our little one loves them too! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes
Ah Cat I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on more of my recipes
I just made these and am eating a warm one as I type! They are fantastic! This is the second recipe of yours I have made. Your banana bread is hands down the BEST paleo baked goods recipe I have ever made. I am so impressed that your recipes are ones I can rely on to be tasty. Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!
Woohoo thank you Michelle
These are great! My daughter and I think they are awesome! So easy to make and delicious – thanks for the recipe!!!
Your so welcome. So happy you love them
Hrm. I can’t tolerate dairy in any form (it’s tragic). Do you think the glaze would work with coconut oil instead of butter?
Yes
Made these with hazelnut flour because the supermarket was out of almond flour and they came out just as tasty. Thanks for the really awesome recipe!
That sounds delicious and your welcome
I was just thinking about all the cookies I will have to give up the next 40 days since I won’t be eating Chocolate for Lent and you solved my problem! Once my almond flour gets in this will be the first thing to go in my oven!
Awesome, enjoy Melissa
i voted, and can’t wait to try these, they look amazing
Enjoy Briita
Thanks for this recipe, George. I find that cinnamon is a flavour that really makes me believe I’m eating something sweet but without the sugar. I think it is interesting that you bake the glaze as well…. it must make them crispy on top. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your so welcome
Just made these this weekend. SOO delicious!
Awesome
Perfect timing posting these. Was snowed in and had all the ingredients. These came out awesome! I might add a little more honey to the glaze just to make them slightly sweeter but I can’t stop eating these. Thanks!
Awesome enjoy them
Made these this morning! As others note, it’s too cold to be outside so may as well warm up the house!
Hope you like them
Voted and voted often… :-)

Wonderful recipe! I just made a batch, they are so good and my house smells so awesome. I am your new biggest fan. I have made so many of your recipes in the past few weeks and they are all so good. Do have to modify them to be egg and nightshade free due to allergies but everything is still turning out delicious. Thanks for sharing your gift!
Awesome Carol, welcome and so glad you loved these

Just voted for you! I wish you the best of luck, you deserve it! I just might make these cookies today, they look so good and I do have all the ingredients on hand. I am on Day 4 of the nicotine patch and try NOT to eat to replace a cigarette. I usually don’t have any sweets in the house, but today, I think I need something besides carrot & celery sticks. I’ve got to beat this addiction..it’s a hard one to beat.
Keep up the awesome work
Just voted, keep up the GREAT work :) Love your recipes — Thank YOU
