Vegan Tea Cookies

I have been truly wanting to create a cookie recipe that was simple, healthy and tasty! Here is what came to fruition in my kitchen! I hope you enjoy!

You will need the following:

2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup arrowroot powder

2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

6 tablespoons grapeseed oil

1/2 cup agave nectar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a light colored cookie specific baking sheet. I find the cookie baking sheets that are lighter in color make the best cookies and the use for parchment paper is not needed!

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and arrowroot powder.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil, agave nectar, and vanilla extract.

Stir the wet ingredients into the almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined.

Spoon the dough 1 tablespoon at a time, into the palms of your hands to roll into a ball. Then place the ball onto the baking sheet and slightly press in the center to flatten very slightly, but not all the way flat.

Leave 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden . Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes and then transfer to a cookie rack.

Your cookie should be slightly firm on the bottom and soft in the center. The way to obtain this texture is to not allow the cookie to bake too long in the oven or else it will become very crisp and it changes the texture and the flavor as well.

These cookies are very delicious served with tea, or any warm drink you prefer! I hope you enjoy making these and serving these as a healthier alternative to traditional tea cookies.

Health and happiness to you and yours,
