Paleo Christmas Cookies

Makes: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Almond flour (2 1/2 cups) — or make your own by grinding soaked and dehydrated almonds
Sea salt (1/4 tsp)
Almonds, toasted and chopped — previously soaked and dehydrated (1 cup)
Honey (5 TBS)
Butter or ghee, unsalted, organic, from grass-fed cows if possible, or coconut oil, melted (1/2 cup)
Vanilla extract, organic or homemade vanilla extract (1 TBS)

Equipment

Stainless steel cookie sheet
If using an aluminum cookie sheet, use parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sea salt, and toasted, chopped almonds.
3. In a smaller bowl, mix together the honey, melted butter (or ghee or coconut oil) and vanilla.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry.
5. Tear off a large piece of parchment paper. Set it on the counter and place the cookie dough in the center. Form the dough into a large log about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

7. Remove from the freezer and unwrap. Cut into 1/8 inch thick slices.
