Instructions
Prep-Work
Flax Egg: Mix 1 tbsp of flax meal with 3 tbsps of water and set aside for 10 minutes.
Sieve the APF and set aside.
Chop the almonds and walnuts.
Steps
Combine the oil, almond butter, vanilla essence, lime zest and flax egg and mix well.
To the sieved APF, add the sugar, baking powder and baking soda and mix well.
Now combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients together.
Bring it all together and form a dough. Add the chopped nuts and fold in.
Now wrap this with cling film and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
After one hour, remove the cling film and on floured surface, shape into a narrow loaf.
Preheat oven to 350° degrees F.
Transfer the loaf to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake it at 350 deg F for 25 minutes.
Remove it from the oven and slice diagonally while hot.
Now increase the oven temperature to 400 deg F.
Place slices back on the baking tray and bake for 3 minutes on each side.
Let it cool before storing in an airtight container. So far I have stored these cookies for up to 1 week.
Notes
You can add nuts of your choice. Also, you can replace it with chocolate chips.
Instead of almond butter, you can use almond extract.
Refrigerating the dough for at least one hour is important. That helps in the flavor to gel nicely.
For this recipe, you need one egg. So you can use the egg replacer accordingly.
Flax meal works well for this recipe, but store-bought egg replacer or apple sauce might work as well.
Adjust the sugar as per your preference.
