Step 3
Cut the dough into rectangles.
Alternatively, you can also shape the cookies with your hands into 0.4″/1cm thick cookies.
The shape of your cookies won’t matter in the end, as we will crush them anyway after they’re done.
Step 4
Every oven is different, that’s why the baking time in your oven might vary a bit from ours.
Keep an eye on the cookies, as almond flour tends to burn a bit faster than regular all-purpose wheat flour.
Step 5
Step 6
Alternatively, you can also put the cookies into a freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have no big chunks of cookie left.
Make sure with either method you choose, that you aren’t pulverising the cookies.
The cookies should resemble chopped nuts in the end, not flour.
