Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With a mixer, beat the coconut sugar, almond butter, and vanilla bean.
Add the remaining ingredients and beat until incorporated.
Roll into 1 inch balls and space out on baking sheet (they’ll double in size as they bake).
Slightly flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand.
Press 3 almond slices into each cookie top and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden.
