Carob-Orange Cookies

Carob-Orange Cookies recipe image
These Carob-Orange Cookies are a delightful alternative to traditional chocolate desserts, offering a naturally sweet and slightly earthy profile. The combination of rice and barley flours provides a light, gluten-free base, while ground nuts add substantial crunch and protein. Bright orange extract cuts through the richness of the honey and carob powder, creating a balanced flavor that is both comforting and refreshing. Perfect for afternoon tea or as a wholesome snack, these cookies hold together well despite being egg-free. They are easy to prepare with pantry staples, making them an ideal choice for quick baking sessions. Serve them warm for a softer texture or let them cool completely for a crispier bite.
