Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
-
1 cup almond flour
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp garlic powder
-
¼ tsp onion powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
Wet Ingredients:
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
¼ cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess water)
-
¼ cup chopped spinach
-
2 tbsp chopped red bell pepper
-
1 tbsp olive oil
Optional Add-Ins:
-
2 tbsp chopped green onion or chives
-
2 tbsp crumbled cooked turkey sausage or beef sausage

Pinch of red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar, grated zucchini (squeezed dry), spinach, bell pepper, and olive oil.
If using optional ingredients, stir them in now.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
Use a rubber spatula to stir until a thick dough forms. The dough should be moist but scoopable.
Step 5: Shape the Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon into a thick disc shape.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and set in the center.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Squeeze Zucchini Well – Excess moisture will make your cookies soggy.
Don’t Overmix – Stir just until everything is combined.
Use Quality Cheese – Shredded sharp cheddar adds great flavor.
Make It Spicier – Add chili flakes, jalapeños, or pepper jack cheese.
Double the Batch – These freeze well, so make extras for later.
