| Instructions |
| Preheat the oven to 375F and line 2 sheet pans with a silicone mat or parchment paper. |
| To a large bowl, add the almond flour, tapioca, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt and whisk very well, making sure to break up lumps from the almond flour. |
| To the same large bowl, add the syrup and vanilla and stir with a spoon for several minutes until it all comes together into a thick, somewhat sticky batter. Keep stirring and pressing the mixture with the back of the spoon until this happens. |
| To a small bowl, add the sugar and cinnamon for the coating and whisk well. |
| With the batter, form balls using 1 1/2 tablespoons worth of the cookie dough. If you would like larger
cookies, then use 2 tablespoons worth of dough. |
| Roll into tight balls with your hands. The batter should be somewhat sticky, but you SHOULD be able to roll
into balls. If it is too sticky to roll into balls, place in the fridge for 15 minutes or so. |
| Place each ball in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and rotate it several times to really coat them well. Add them
to the pan 2 inches apart. |
| Press each cookie down between 1/4 to 1/2 inch, making sure the whole cookie is pressed down evenly. Pressing them down properly is what will help them crackle as they bake and spread. Using the bottom of a glass with some parchment paper in between works well. |
| Bake 1 pan at a time. (While the first pan cools, bake the 2nd one) Bake for 10 minutes. They should have puffed up and slightly crackled, that is when they are done. I found 10 minutes to be perfect. |
| Leave them to cool on the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool another 10 minutes. |
| They will flatten back out a bit as they cool. These cookies do finish cooking as they cool in the insides, so I
would wait before eating one until they are cooled, or they will seem a bit underdone still in the middle. They
will fluff up on the inside more as they cool. |
| They should have a crispy edge with a moist and soft, chewy center. |
| Store sealed in a container. |
