These cookies are not low-fat, but rather a decadent treat. To lighten them up, decrease sweetener and oil by half and substitute applesauce or other pureéd fruit to a total of 1 cup (240mL) liquids.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (180g) teff flour

1/2 cup (60g) arrowroot starch

2 tsp (8g) Featherweight® baking powder

1 tsp (2g) cinnamon

1/4 cup (40g) flaxseed meal

1/4 cup (30g) chopped walnuts

1/2 cup (120mL) honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup (120mL) walnut or other unrefined oil

1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract

Directions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add walnuts and flaxseed meal. In measuring cup, mix liquids together. Stir liquids in with dry ingredients and mix well.

Drop batter by Tbsp onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly by criss-crossing with a fork.
