These simple low fat, low calorie, vegan cookies are the perfect mid-day treat! Our favorite way to enjoy them is dipped in cinnamon apple sauce.

Ingredients

Dry

• 1/3 cup teff flour
• 1/3 cup light or green buckwheat flour
• 1/3 cup arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon whole flax seed
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• pinch Himalayan rock salt

Wet

• 1/4 cup light maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon grape seed oil
• 2 tablespoon apple sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
2. In large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Roll by scant tablespoons into balls. Place 1-inch apart on prepared baking sheet.
4. To flatten with a wavy impression, press down on each ball with your index and middle fingers slightly apart like a peace sign.
5. Bake until bottoms are golden, about 12 to 14 minutes.
6. Cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

a combination of other flours can be used but I have not tested. Tapioca or sweet rice flour could replace the arrowroot powder, and brown rice or chickpea flour can replace the teff or buckwheat.
