  • Serves 12 cookies
  • Prep 10 minutes
  • Cook 15 minutes
  • Total 25 minutes

Ingredients

Cookie Dough:

  • 2 tbsp smooth cashew butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup flour ((I use unbleached all purpose))
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cinnamon mixture:

  • 2-3 tbsp brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (, or use other blends suh a pumpkin pie spice, chai spice etc)
  • oil spray or water spray as needed

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, add the cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. (let sit at room temp for 10 mins so the nut butter warms and mixes easily).

  2. 2

    Add the rest of the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Start with 3/4 cup flour and add a tbsp more at a time.

  3. 3

    Let the mixture sit for 10 mins. If still sticky, add a tbsp more flour. The dough should be smooth and not too dry and not sticky. Roll it out using some flour into a 2mm thin large rectangle.

  4. 4

    Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined. Spray water or oil on the rolled out dough. Sprinkle cinnamon mixture. Roll the dough into a tight log and seal the edge with water.

  5. 5

    Let the log chill for 15 to 30 mins. Preheat the oven to 335 deg F (168 C)

  6. 6

    Slice and bake for 12 mins. Cool completely. Add a sugar icing if you like. Store covered on the counter for upto 3 days, refrigerated for upto 2 weeks.

Notes

To make these nutfree, use sunbutter and sunflower seed meal. I havent tried these gluten-free. A gluten-free blend should work. Keep the dough moist so it doesnt break apart while rolling. Nutrition is for 1 cookie
