Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the brown sugar, almond flour, salt, and corn syrup or milk. Whisk continuously for about 3-4 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. If the butter separates, remove the pan from heat and whisk vigorously to recombine.
Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to thicken for 5-10 minutes as the oven preheats.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon per cookie) of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once fully cooled, sandwich the cookies with Nutella or melted chocolate, if desired. Serve immediately or store.
