1 cup ground almonds (almond meal)
3 tablespoons melted butter (use dairy-free margarine as a substitute for butter)
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup (or more) dried fruit, optional (such as chopped apricots, chopped cherries, or raisins)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt, optional
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips, optional (or any other type of chip)
½ cup chopped nuts, optional (I used walnuts)
Preheat oven to 340 F. Mix together all of the ingredients, don’t add the butter while it is still hot – let it cool for a while before adding it to the batter. Fold in the dried fruit or chocolate or nuts. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Take one heaping teaspoon of batter at a time and place on to the baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are done. Take them out of the oven when the sides start to brown.
