I try to eat healthy, I really do, but sometimes... Cravings mess things up! So instead of having to rip open a package of cookies (and then feeling I should finish a ton of cookies), I just don't buy them and bake some of my own instead.
Part of them ends up in the freezer for an easily accessible one-time cookie to fulfill my craving, while the others ends up on the table for some nice snacking for a week or two. Only one a day! Except for the bloody week, I can have two a day then... Don't judge!
The benefit of baking my own cookies is I can control what goes in them. They do need some sugar for a true craving, but honestly, most recipes online call for TOO MUCH sugar. So, I cut back on that, the volume depending on my mood and craving. I tend to use beter flours than store-bought cookies, so that's a bonus.
This is a basic recipe I very much want to write down somewhere for safe keepings, so it is now going on the blockchain forever.
Ingredients
For ~12 cookies, double if needed.
- 100g plant-based butter
- 100g Almond flour
- 50g Whole wheat flour
- 60g Sugar (This is on the sweet side. You can cut back more if you're used to it.)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Tsp vanilla extract or some cookie spices (optional)
- Chocolate chips / Chunks of nuts to your heart's content (do people really measure these out?)
Directions
- Warm up your plant-based butter a little bit so it becomes fluid and therefor easily mixable (just warm enough, not hot).
- Preheat your oven to 170/180 C (you know your oven best).
- Mix everything but your chocolate/nuts into a good batter.
- Mix in your chocolate/nuts.
- Spread out parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Gather a bit of your dough, roll into a ball and press down slightly onto the baking tray for a nice cookie size. Do the same with the rest of your batter.
- Put in the oven for about 15 minutes (again, you know your oven best).
- Take out the cookies and let them cool off for a while.
Enjoy!
P.S.: Yes, I'm skipping the whole put this stuff in plastic wrap, the fridge, and cut off a centimeter a piece thing. It's not needed for good tasting cookies and I don't mind the lack of symmetry.
