Another week has gone by and I haven’t even seen it! I have been working so much that I did not have time to post for a week and that for me seems way too long. The good news is: it’s Monday! And I have a great excuse to be baking: I’m baking with Carla!
This week at the school we had a few birthdays. One of the birthday girls was a two-year-old who is allergic to eggs. Before working as a teacher I had never suspected that egg intolerance or allergy could be as widespread as it is but now I’ve met so many kids that can’t eat eggs that I am getting more sensitive to this reality and I’m always looking for great recipes for treats that contain no eggs.
That is why I came out with these cookies. No eggs and almond flour is what make them different from the majority of the tasty and quick to make cookies. The taste: amazing! Preparation time: really 5 minutes if you discount the refrigerator time.
They got an A+ from everybody (even from Wally, who is picky about cookies).
Eggless Cookies
Ingredients
Yields about 15 cookies
125 gr (4.4 oz or 1 stick + 1 tbsp) butter, melted and cooled
85 gr (3 oz or 2/3 cup) confectioners’ sugar
5 ml (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
125 gr (4.5 oz or 1 cup) all-purpose flour
50 gr (1.75 oz) almond meal
Method
Preheat the oven to 325F degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, the sugar and the vanilla extract until you obtain a smooth cream.
Stir in the flour and the almond meal and mix well until the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the dough onto a foil of aluminum paper. Roll it up into a cylinder and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator, unroll it and cut out several rounds, each about 1/2” thick.
Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on a cooling rack before serving.
Have a sweet day!

5 ingredient cookies, that's a rarity! These look fantastic and sounds like they're very, very easy to make. Thanks for another fantastic recipe, Sara!
ReplyDeletethese look fabulous and delicious
ReplyDeleteWow do these cookies look soooo good and your photos are just gorgeous. I love baking with almond flour and will definitely be trying these. Thank you so much for the recipe Sara! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look so good, no wonder they got an A+ from everyone. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteI too am searching for new ways to bake, I made my first flourless cake recently and these are right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteOh! These cookies look so good, and they are easy to make besides. Gorgeous pics, Sara! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteMy nephew can't eat anything with eggs, so this is a perfect recipe to try making for him! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you post something. Reading your comments makes me happy, but it's not the same as seeing what you've made with your own hands.
ReplyDeleteYou had me with almond flour as far as these cookies go. I can't imagine a 2 year-old with an allergy to eggs! It's so good of you to prepare a sweet treat just for her like that. And what a treat! I love this recipe. Big hugs!
Oh, yes!!! These are the cookies for me! I'm a little queasy about eggs, except for soft baked eggs with butter - THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteoh!! thank you so much!! I am always looking for eggless recipes. I can't eat eggs either, and I'm glad to hear you say that awareness is growing about this allergy. It means that maybe one day we'll have beautiful eggless baking cookbooks to look forward to! cheers.
ReplyDeleteLove easy quick almond cookies that have no eggs. I'm almost never have eggs since I don't eat them. Totally puts a damper on my cookie needs.
ReplyDeleteAnd hi! I feel your busy pain.
What a great almond cookie and love the idea of no eggs. I think it is so cool that you bake with Carla - I bet she relishes each time. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! Love your photos! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteSara pensa che proprio poco fa pensavo a come farmi dei biscottini senza uova e questi sono perfetti! magari li provo questo fine settimana! .-*
ReplyDeleteWow this is so awesome that you post this. I'm in the baking mood but don't have eggs... and earlier today I was looking for a recipe that uses almond flour because I have a bag of it that I want to use! thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very useful recipe because right now I have no eggs in my house :) I was thinking I couldn't bake anything! Now I can put off going to the grocery store for a few more days! (Strange thing is, I have lots of almond flour!)
ReplyDeleteLove almond cookies - your pictures look great!
ReplyDeleteI hope your busy schedule eases soon but I'm glad you have your days with Carla to give you a break. The eggless and almond flour combination is very appealing to me and these cookies look perfect. Leave it to you to always come up with a delicious sweet treat to make everyone happy. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Sara. :-)
I think everyone's schedules are overpacked these days. I finally got some almond flour, because I keep seeing these great recipes using it. Glad you had time though to bake with Carla. Hope this week is much better.
ReplyDelete-Gina-
Those look amazing! I really love your pictures, they look so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese sound wonderful Sara! Beautiful photo too. A tiny bit of almond extract and cinnamon would be great in there too... :)
ReplyDeleteLooking at your BEAUTIFUL pictures, I would have never guessed these cookies don't have traditional ingredients. It truly is amazing the number of allergies these days though, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cookies and they look delicious.
ReplyDeletethis recipe comes in so handy. Lately I've been looking for cookie recipe so my baby girl could enjoy too and this sound perfect. love the photos too.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing Sara, hope you're having a wonderful day
These sound so tasty yet so easy to make! And your photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to make special cookies! These look delicious- the photos are great!
ReplyDeleteSara,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and love the sound of those cookies! Have a great week!
I love how allergy friendly these are! They sound delicious and so, so easy...score!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you made some time to bake and post:) I hope your work load lessens a bit soon.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are great, as usual:) Keep on!
BTW, I gave you a Stylish Blog Award, just to make you smile.
Noooo.... no eggs? That would be like my nightmare come true! Thank goodness the kids have you as their teacher, Sara. Does the almond meal make the cookies taste like an almond cookie or does it taste more like a sugar cookie? Don't get me wrong though, I love almond anything! ^_^
ReplyDeleteWow, eggless and cookies are two words i never thought could be combined. But, they look delicious!! If i can find the almond meal, i might just try these!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for these comments. As always I disappear from my blog for a day and I have so many of you stopping by! And I'm glad this recipe was well received, whether you have egg allergy or you simply do not keep dozens on eggs in the fridge. These cookies were really good.
ReplyDelete@Angi: they taste more like almond pasta frolla then sugar cookies. I guess you could make them taste more sugar cookies by adding granulated sugar. But there are already so many sugar cookies out there that I thought it would be nice to have them with almond for once. And no, almonds are not a big allergy issue for kids contrary to other nuts.
@Lana, thanks! I'll stop by to receive the award :)
Oh Sara! Big, perfect cookies and not a lot of ingredients. I luv this recipe and how beautiful the cookies look. I may give these a try with my stash of almond meal (that I use for macarons). :)
ReplyDeleteCiao Sara-le foto sono incredibile! My hubby would goggle all of them up. They are his type of cookie.Simple and wonderful. I would too:)xx
ReplyDeleteThe almond flower sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I've never tried baking without eggs, but the cookies look just as good as ever!
ReplyDeleteA cookie with only 5 ingredients. Very useful, especially since a lot of people around me are vegetarian [no eggs too], and I could make these for them!
