Ingredients
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chopped pecans, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, maple syrup, olive oil, and applesauce. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to form a dough.
Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a log about 6 inches long and 1 1/2-2 inches in diameter. Wrap both logs in plastic wrap and freeze for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap the frozen logs of dough and slice each into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheets. Gently press a pecan half into the center of each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
