Toasties! (Healthy Cookies)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond meal
• 1/2 cup cassava flour (egg replacement)
• 2 sticks plant-based butter, room temperature
• 2/3 cup Lakanto ‘golden’ monkfruit sweetener
• 2/3 cup Lakanto ‘classic’ monkfruit sweetner
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or paste)
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1 tsp allspice

Method:

• cream together ‘sugars’ and ‘butter’
• add extracts & spices to creamed mixture and blend thoroughly.
• combine almond meal & cassava flour together.
• combine wet & dry ingredients.
• put in 9×9 baking pan or 13×9 pan.
• bake at 350F for 40 minutes (or 35 minutes, respectively.)

Cut immediately out of the oven and allow to cool — these are going to be cake texture while hot and cookie texture when cold. They get hard to cut without crumbling and losing half the piece. They will otherwise have zero issues sticking together.

This makes 9 servings, my friend. I believe in real portions.

Tip: You cannot over-combine because there is no gluten. The reason baked goods come out crappy from over-combining is over-activating the gluten in traditional flour. Don’t be afraid to be thorough.
