Spring is here, and even though it is still pretty rainy where I live, I have been dying to develop some Spring themed recipes. My mom has been buying lots of strawberries recently, and this afternoon I struck inspiration and made these delicious cookies. These cookies are awesome because they only have 4 ingredients. They are oil free, gluten free, paleo, and vegan, and they taste what a sunny day feels like.

Ingredients

2 cups of almond meal

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon water*

2-3 large strawberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F

2. In a small-medium mix almond meal, maple syrup, and baking powder. The consistency should be a sticky dough. *If it does not hold together, add a tablespoon of water

3. Wash your strawberries and cut out the hull and slice them into rounds

4. Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper

5. Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough into a ball and repeat. This recipe should yield 9-12 cookies.

6. Place dough balls on cookie sheet, press them flat with your fingers, and place a strawberry slice on top.

7. Bake for 12-14 minutes

8. Enjoy your spring time treat!

This is what they should look like before the oven!

This is after!

That's all for today, and remember to stay hydrated :)
