Maple Walnut Cookies

I recently made these cookies and they were such a hit, I made them twice in a row!  They use only a handful of ingredients and the recipe is simple and quick to whip up!  Enjoy!



Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. walnuts, ground in food processor

  • 2/3 c. whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup ground flaxseed

  • 1/3 c. carob chips*

  • 1/2 c. maple syrup

  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. In a small bowl add all the ingredients in the given order. Mix well.
  3. Drop spoonful of dough on a slightly oiled cookie sheet and flatten them with a fork.
  4. Bake for ten to fifteen minutes or until golden brown, checking often to prevent burning.
  5. Let cool before removing from the cookie sheet. Makes one dozen.
*Instead of carob chips, you may substitute vegan chocolate chips, chopped dates or dried cherries; however, the walnuts must stay, as they are one of the best vegetarian sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, necessary for optimum brain function.
Preparation time: 10 minutes.
Baking time: 15 minutes.
Yield: 12 cookies.
