i repin ty…
Has anyone out there tried this recipe? I’ve tried to make it TWICE with these ingredients and both times it did NOT come out well at all!!!! The first time I tried with agave syrup (to do sugar free), and all I got was a melted mess,but it tasted o.k., it just was a pile of soup basically.The second time I used regular sugar and it was just like a powder,it didn’t form a cookie texture at all. I’m wondering if I should use almond flour instead of almond meal,Is the list of ingredients correct? Can someone please give me some advice, I love the flavors ,but these are very expensive ingredients to keep throwing away! Thanks
Also, I used waxed paper because that’s what I had, could this make a difference?
Michelle,
I’m not sure why this is not working for you. I would definitely use parchment paper instead of wax paper; parchment paper is safe in the oven, while wax paper may be melting. I used almond meal (essentially ground almonds) and real sugar. Agave would make it soupy since it’s a liquid. When you put it into the pan, it should be like wet sand. Hope that helps!
