Vegan Almond Cookies


I had a craving for cookies late one evening, so I cruised the internet for some vegan recipes. A little tweaking and I came up with this. It was so good I ate a lot of the dough before baking it.

 

It was so good we made it twice in one week and discovered that it is fantastic with some chocolate chips or pine nuts mixed in too.

 

Ingredients:

¾ cup coconut oil or sunflower oil

1 cup ground almonds (or another nut, if preferred)

2 1/3 cups flour

½ - ¾ cup sugar, depending on desired sweetness

1 tbsp vanilla

¼ cup water

¼ cup or about 50 g pine nuts or chopped hazelnuts or chopped chocolate, optional

icing sugar

 

Instructions:

1. If using coconut oil, melt it.

2. Mix the coconut oil with all the other ingredients, except the icing sugar.

3. Roll the dough into flat rounds.

4. Bake at 175 C for 15-18 minutes.

5. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
