Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chickpeas (from a can or cooked, drained well)
• 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 6 tablespoons coconut nectar or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoon 1 1/2 teaspoon Chai Tea Masala spice mix (
• neutral oil like coconut oil to spread on tops
• Anise seeds (optional, not recommended for eating)
• Refined-sugar-free Icing (recipe below)
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 3 tablespoons coconut nectar, maple syrup or dark agave nectar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add all the ingredients into a food processor and process on high until a smooth batter forms.
• Scoop about a tablespoon onto the baking sheet and continue with all the batter.
• Press the tops down and smooth to form a cookie shape. (I dipped my finger tips in melted coconut oil and smoothed the tops down. This way your fingers won’t stick to the batter).
• Press the Anise seeds into the centre if desired.
• Bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes until edges darken slightly.
• Once baked, transfer onto a cooling rack and allow the cookies to fully cool. Even overnight.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Whisk the oil with the sweetener until completely blended and super smooth.
• Drizzle on top of cookies.
• The icing will slightly harden and appear whiter if cookies are stored in the refrigerator.
