Paleo Snickerdoodles (Vegan, Too!)

I have a riddle for you: What's crispy, chewy, full of all that cinnamon-y goodness, and a bite-sized
cookie? A SNICKERDOODLE! Let's see if you can solve this one: What's a snickerdoodle free of gluten, grains, dairy, and eggs? A GOODIES AGAINST THE GRAIN SNICKERDOODLE!!!
What's- oh, you get the point. What I'm trying to say is, these are some really tasty cookies, and I really want you to make them, too. So, what are we waiting for???????

Makes about 20 cookies.

Ingredients:

2 cups blanched almond flour, sifted (the sifting is optional, but will make the cookies smoother)
1 small pinch sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, the cookies are great with it just on the coating, too)
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 honey (or agave, if you're a strict vegan)
2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Coating:

2 Tbs ground cinnamon
2 Tbs coconut or maple sugar (optional, but if you omit it, increase the cinnamon to 3-4 Tbs)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir until well combined. NOTE: at this point, the dough may resemble course crumbs, but that's totally fine, as long as you squeeze it when you make it into balls so it holds together.
5. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the dough, and roll it into a ball.
6. Briefly dip the ball in a small bowl of water, then dip it in the cinnamon and sugar to coat.
7. Place the ball on the baking sheet, then flatten it out with the palm of your hand.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 with the rest of the dough.
9. Bake the snickerdoodles for 7-9 minutes.
10. The cookies will be a bit soft when the come out of the oven, so let them cool for at least 15 min before serving. Enjoy!
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 8-9 minutes. Leave cookies on the cookie sheet while cooling. They may seem under-baked at first, but they will firm up to just the right texture as they cool.
