Description

These Carob-Orange Cookies offer a delightful, naturally sweet alternative to traditional chocolate treats, perfect for those avoiding caffeine or dairy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, barley flour, and carob powder until well combined and free of lumps.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, stir together the honey, water (or soy milk), and orange extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Fold in the ground nuts until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop small spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Gently flatten each mound with your fingers or the back of a spoon, as the dough will not spread much during baking.
  7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies feel set to the touch.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: For a softer texture, mix 1/4 cup of oil into the liquid ingredients before combining.
  10. Optional: Indent the center of each cookie with a spoon and fill with a small amount of orange marmalade after baking.
