Ingredients
| 1 3/4 |
cups of flour |
| 2 |
teaspoons baking powder |
| 3/4 |
cup dried cranberries |
| 2 |
tablespoons flax seeds |
| 3/4 |
cup maple syrup |
| 1/3 |
cup butter |
| 2 |
teaspoons vanilla extract |
| 1/2 |
teaspoon almond extract |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine the flour and baking powder; stir in the nuts or dried fruits.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wetness of the flax seeds, chosen sweetener (cane sugar or maple syrup), butter, vanilla, almond extract and orange rind until thoroughly emulsified.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients. Stir the wet into the dry until soft, sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface; with hands, form into smooth ball. Divide the dough in half, rolling each into 30cm-long logs. Transfer each to its own ungreased baking sheet. Brush the top of each log with a bit of soymilk for aesthetics.
- Bake at 350F for 20 min. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet placed on top of a cooling rack for 5 min.
- Transfer each log to cutting board. With a sizable and sharp knife, make firm cuts on a diagonal at about every 2cm. Stand the cookies back up (sideways) on the baking sheets, and return to oven for 20-25 minutes longer, or until golden. Do not overcook!!!
- Remove to rack and let cool.
- Eat cookies - they last up to two weeks when stored in an air-tight container.
