These 3 Ingredients Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free Almond Cookies are so simple, fast to make and delicious - they are a must try for any almond lovers! Because easy and quick Cookies recipes is something that everyone should have in their recipe book!
Why we love this recipe
Using Almond Meal to replace any type of Flour is a great tip, whether it is for Passover or if you are after a Gluten Free Recipe. It makes any baked good super light and moist, just like my Pear Almond Cake and my Almond Orange Cake.
This recipe was inspired by one of my Aunt's Passover Recipe. It must be one of the easiest baking recipe ever! Even though I love complex and challenging recipes, it is also nice to be able to whip something under 30 minutes...
You really don't need to be an expert baker to realise this recipe, it is accessible to absolutely every baking level. And just like my Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies, these biscuits are Gluten Free and Dairy-Free so people with many dietary requirements can enjoy them!
These cookies as really a delicious Gluten-Free alternative to my Almond Shortbread Cookies and they will be great for the Holidays and Christmas season too!

When I say they are quick and easy to make, I really mean... 3 ingredients only! For this recipe, you will need 3 ingredients only.
You can also choose to customise or add more ingredients if you want, but they will taste absolutely delicious with the basic 3 ingredients too!
To make the Basic Almond Cookies, you will need:
- Brown Sugar

How to make Quick Almond Cookies
When you hear "3 ingredients cookies", you expect something fast to make, right? Well, you are right! These almond cookies are literally the quickest and easiest cookies you will ever attempt to make... They are even faster to make than my No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies!
To make these Cookies, follow these steps:
- Mix the Almond Meal and Brown Sugar in a Mixing Bowl
- In a seperate bowl, beat the Eggs - then add it to the dry ingredients
- Stir well until a dough comes together.
- Use a tablespoon to spoon some batter and roll it with your hands to create small balls of dough.
- Place the balls on a lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes
Optionally, you can press a raw almond in the middle of each cookie ball before baking them. You can also finish them with a Dark Chocolate Ganache like I did. The perfect Passover Cookies recipe, or Gluten Free Cookies Recipe!
