How to Make It
1. Prepare the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups almond flour, ½ cup gluten-free oat flour, ¼ cup Look Well Vanilla Chai, ⅓ cup coconut sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp sea salt.
- Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in ½ cup melted coconut oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp almond butter, and 1 tbsp flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water (flax egg).
- Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle. (If the dough isn’t sticking together, see notes below.)
- Scoop out 2-tablespoon sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and flatten into cookie shapes on the baking sheet. For smaller cookies, use smaller portions of dough.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
2. Make the Vanilla Protein Cream:
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend 1 cup soaked raw cashews, ¼ cup Look Well Vanilla Chai, 3 tbsp coconut cream, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ cup almond milk, and ½ tsp lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a bit more coconut cream if needed, but keep it thick. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
3. Assemble the Cookies:
- Once the cookies are cooled, dollop the vanilla protein cream onto the bottom of one cookie. Place another cookie on top to create a sandwich, pressing gently to secure.
