Melt-Away Moroccan Cinnamon Cookies

These cookies are extremely easy to prepare and practically foolproof—perfect for anyone who has trouble baking! The recipe yields a large amount of cookies—which means extra cookies that can be frozen for up to three months. We love to serve them with Turkish coffee or espresso. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Directions

Prepare the Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large cookie sheets with Gefen Parchment Paper.

  2. Combine the oil and confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved. Add the almond flour and mix well.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add to the almond flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon first, then with your hands, to form a dough.

  4. Using your hands or a small ice-cream scoop and working with two teaspoons of dough at a time, form forty-eight balls. Place them half an inch apart on the lined cookie sheets and slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.

  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until they start to firm up slightly, remove from the oven, and sprinkle cinnamon on top of each cookie. Let cool completely.

Unfortunately didnt work for me…dough came out dry and crumbly and they didn’t come together in the oven, shame because they look so good!

I'm so sorry to hear that! I've actually made these before, and they came out delicious! Did you substitute any ingredient or change anything?

Two minutes too late I realized the ingredients had an order... I schlepped everything together, used white spelt instead of whole wheat, and formed them flatter than the picture has shown. I also read 375 instead of 325f. Oh well. Still, great recipe, thank you so much, will try it again (with more meticulousness) the taste has so much potential
