Easiest Gluten-free Cookie | Orange-Cardamom Cookies

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you because it’s easy and such a treat. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness and has great texture.

It’s also one-bowl recipe which always makes things easy and cleanup minimal. Everybody that’s had the pleasure of tasting them has loved ’em!

So without further ado, I present to you. . . Orange-Cardamom Cookies.

The combo of cardamom and orange is fantastic. It makes me feel like I’m eating fancy tea in a riad in Morocco. Enjoy 🥳

Orange-Cardamom Gluten-free Cookies

Ingredients (Makes 12-16 small cookies):

• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. Cardamom
• 2 Tbsp. coconut, olive oil, or grapeseed oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
• ½ orange, zested

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix first four ingredients together in a bowl with a whisk to break up any clumps.

2. Then, mix in the oil, eggs, vanilla, and orange zest.

3. Scoop out into 12-16 balls. Roll into balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Wash your hands. Then, keep your hands slightly damp to help you to roll and flatten them. They won’t really spread when baking, so you need to flatten them a bit.

4. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
