minutesIngredients
100g walnuts
200g vegan margarine or butter
80g sugar
300g all purpose flour
1 flax ‘egg’
Directions
- Prepare flax ‘egg’ – measure 1 tbsp ground flax seed and add 2 tbsp hot water. Wait 10 minutes for the right consistency.
- Grind walnuts.
- Measure margarine, sugar and flax egg and combine them in a bowl. You need to grind them so the margarine becomes creamy, best done by back of the spoon.
- Add ground walnuts and mix well.
- Sieve all purpose flour into the bowl, combine it with other ingredients until you get a soft, elastic dough. You can leave it in the fridge for some time, or you can start forming cookies right away.
- Roll the dough into balls more or less size of the walnut. Form your walnut cookies as seen on the picture below.
- Bake in 160°C / 320°F for 25 minutes (until browned evenly).
Notes
- Don’t overgrind walnuts. You don’t want to make a nut butter.
- Watch your cookies last 5 minutes of baking. Every oven is different, you don’t want to burn them.
