My cranberry cookies made with almond flour with maple syrup is one quick recipe. This recipe does not use white sugar as that is substituted by maple syrup or pancake syrup. The cookies are super quick to make and turn out moist and soft. I use cranberries for their anti oxidative properties but you can use blueberries, chocolate chips or any other dried fruit of your choice. The cookies taste delicious whatever you add to them. To spice up the cookie dough I prefer to add a little bit of cardamom powder. Trust me that makes all the difference in this. You can also add a cinnamon powder.

These cookies are crumbly, soft pieces of deliciousness that break apart at the touch and melt in the mouth. I prefer to use some cinnamon in the dough because it adds that extra aroma that is so enticing when the cookies bake.
