VEGAN CHOCOLATE AMARETTI COOKIES

The other day I was thinking at what homemade Christmas gifts I could make this year, and delicious cookies came to my mind!

There is nothing more irresistible than the smell of a warm batch of cookies coming out of the oven in these cold days!

As I am experimenting with vegan baking lately, I wanted to make a cookie that was:

• super easy to make
• looked amazing to add to any Christmas cookie box
• delicious to eat

And I remembered my old chewy amaretti recipe!

Every time I brought this over to a friend’s house for dinner, they would ask me for the recipe.

But I had a couple of challenges:

• This recipe normally uses 2 egg whites
• I wanted to make it a bit more special for Christmas!

Ingredients

• 2 cups (200g) ground almonds (almond meal)
• 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
• 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 tablespoon icing sugar for coating
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 flax eggs
• 2 tablespoon ground flax seeds
• 6 tablespoon water

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2. Make the flax eggs: add the ground flax seeds and water to a dish and stir. Let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients: ground almond flour, baking powder, sugar, and cocoa powder then add the flax eggs.
