Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup 113g unsalted butter Softened to room temperature
  • ⅔ cup 130g packed light or dark brown sugar Provides a rich caramel flavor
  • ¾ cup 75g almond flour Use finely ground for best texture
  • ¼ teaspoon salt To balance sweetness
  • 1 Tablespoon 15ml light or dark corn syrup (Adds crispness; can substitute with milk)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Enhances flavor
  • optional: ½ cup Nutella or melted chocolate For sandwiching optional but recommended

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Stir in the brown sugar, almond flour, salt, and corn syrup or milk. Whisk continuously for about 3-4 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. If the butter separates, remove the pan from heat and whisk vigorously to recombine.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to thicken for 5-10 minutes as the oven preheats.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  5. Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon per cookie) of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once fully cooled, sandwich the cookies with Nutella or melted chocolate, if desired. Serve immediately or store.
