Almond Cherry Cardamom Cookies, or "Mike-Friendlies"
1/4 tbsp agave nectar
3/4 cup baker's sugar
5 tbsp flaxseed meal
3/4 cup vegan margarine (I like Earth Balance)
6 tbsp water
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 cups bleached whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp cardamom
1.5 cups dried cherries
1 cup sliced raw almonds
Preset oven to 350 F.
Blend flaxseed meal, water, margarine, vanilla extract, almond extract, sugar, and agave nectar with a hand mixer until all elements are well combined. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, use your hand mixer on a low setting to get it smooth. Next, stir in almonds and cherries with a spoon, getting the additions throughout the dough.
Scoop spoonfuls (about 3 thumbs by three thumbs) onto parchment-paper covered cookie sheets. Bake for about 17 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Go on. Have a peace!

ReplyDeleteI do like you refer to these as "Mike-friendlies." too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love dried cherries in just about everything. But I can't get behind cookies if they don't have chocolate in them. I know, it's an illness... :(
