Yield 12 cookies
Vegan cookies that are gluten-free, oil-free and delicious! These cookies are a tiny bit crispy on the outside and soft and slightly crumbly on the inside. And you can add any flavor you want!
Ingredients
- 190g buckwheat flour (or 1 cup of buckwheat ground into a flour)
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 3 tablespoons cashew butter or almond butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Add all the ingredients to the food processor and pulse until a very stick dough forms.
- Scoop out tablespoon amounts of the dough, roll them into balls, slightly flatten them up and place them on a baking sheet (I recommend using baking paper or a silicon mat to avoid the cookies from sticking to the baking tray). You could also use an ice cream scoop like a did. It´s much easier! Place the balls on the baking mat and then flatten them up with your fingers.
- Bake at 180ºC for 10 minutes or until slightly golden on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack and wait 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For chocolate cookies: add 3 tablespoons of cacao powder (or two for a more subtle chocolate flavor).
- For peanut butter cookies: substitute the cashew butter for peanut butter.
- For cinnamon cookies: add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- For chocolate chip cookies: add 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
- For lemon cookies: add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
