Almond Meal Cookies

Serves: about 20

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 17 min

Preheat oven to 170 degrees C fan forced

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond meal

• 1 cup dessicated coconut

• 1/2 cup quick oats (leave these out if you are celiac)

• 2 tablespoons of psyllium husks

• 2 eggs

• 100g butter

• 30g coconut oil

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup dark choc chip cookies (optional)

• extra milk or yoghurt if necessary

• if you don’t have coconut oil, use 130g of butter

Method

1. Preheat the fan forced oven to 170deg C

2. Now melt the butter and coconut oil

3. Then combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (except choc chips)

4. Add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix with a beater until well combined – about 2 min

5. If the mixture is a bit dry, add some milk or yoghurt (a few tablespoons)

6. Add the choc chips and mix with a knife to distribute them evenly

7. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place about 20 cookies evenly spaced on the tray. Use a spoon to do this. The shape is usually quite rustic!

8. Bake in preheated fan-forced oven for about 17 minutes or until golden.

9. Store in the freezer.

Double batch

I like to use this version when I’m making a double batch

Cook at 170 Celsius for 17 minutes. I line two trays with baking paper and put them both in the oven at the same time.

1. 4 cups almond meal

2. 1 cup of quick oats

3. 1 cup desiccated coconut

4. 3 tablespoons of psyllium husks

5. 1  cup sugar

6. 4 eggs

7. 170 g melted butter

8. 2-3 tsp vanilla

9. ¾ cup dark choc chips (I use Cadbury’s)

10. extra milk or yoghurt if necessary

    Same cooking instructions as above

Remember to store them in the freezer. They are great cold.
