We are a household who will eat pretty much anything and we
have few food allergies or intolerances, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t try
and please those who are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free. We know quite a few
people who prescribe to those diets and I think food should be just as tasty
for them as it is the rest of the world.
For some time I have been hunting for a decent vegan cookie.
One that I myself would eat and that wouldn’t take ingredients not already in my
pantry. I finally found upon a recipe, that I modified slightly and am proud to
blog about.
These thumbprint cookies use almond meal instead of flour.
(Almond meal, as well as coconut oil, is available at Trader Joe’s and Whole
Foods.) The almond meal holds up well and provides for a sweetness that negates
the use of traditional sweeteners. The small amount of maple syrup is just the
right touch. Best of all, these are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and
dairy-free!
