Coffee Cake Cookies are soft, chewy and perfectly sweet. They are made with an almond flour cookie and topped with a gluten-free sweet and savory crumble all before being drizzled with a simple two ingredient icing.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8 large cookies

Ingredients  

Cookie Base

  • 1 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg or chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 10 minutes)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumble Topping

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (such as bob’s red mill 1:1)

Icing

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tsp milk of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, egg or chia egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until there are little to no clumps left. 
  • Then, add in the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough is formed. 
  • Next, using a double cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into a large ball with the palm of your hands. Place it on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper, and flatten with the palm of your hands. See notes below. 
  • Grease the back of a tablespoon and make an indent in each cookie. 
  • Then, in a small bowl make the crumble by combing all the ingredients together. Using your fingers, grab some of the crumble and sprinkle it on top of each cookie filling each cavity that was created. 
  • Bake for about 15 minutes and let cool completely. 
  • When ready, make the icing and drizzle it on top and ENJOY!!! 

Notes

  • Dough will be slightly sticky, so when flattening the cookie you can either grease the palm of your hand slightly with non-stick spray, or just work slowly.
  • You know the cookies are done when the sides are slightly firm to the touch. They will continue to keep baking for a few minutes after you remove them, so for a soft and chewy cookie you want them to be slightly under baked.
