Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined. (You may need to allow the dough to chill first for a little bit for the dough to be easier to work with). Shape into 3/4″balls and place on trays, flattening the dough till it’s about 1/4″ thick. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, until set.Remove from trays. Eat fresh or cooled. These store well in the freezer for extra crunch.
