Nut Thins Recipes

ALMOND THINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Sift together the flour and salt and slowly stir into butter mixture until just blended.
• Divide batter in half and place each half on in the center of two ungreased, flat-sided cookie sheets. Dip a spatula in warm water and spread batter to cover the entire baking sheet, making sure batter is spread evenly. Sprinkle almonds and press gently into dough.
• Bake each sheet about 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Cut hot cookies into 2-inch squares. Return to oven and bake until lightly golden... about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent over baking.
• Remove from oven to a wire rack. Slide spatula under cookies to loosen. Cool completely on cookie sheets. Store in airtight containers with waxed paper between layers.

ALMOND 'YOU MUST BE NUTS!' CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix almond flour, walnuts, flax seed meal, and salt together in a bowl until well combined. Add water and olive oil; mix until dough is moist and holds together.
• Turn dough onto prepared baking sheet. Place a second piece of parchment over dough. Roll dough, using a rolling pin, into a 1/16-inch thick rectangle. Remove top piece of parchment paper and cut sides of dough to make an even rectangle. Add excess dough to corners or 1 end of rectangle and re-roll to uniform thickness.
• Cut dough into 1-inch squares using a pizza cutter, keeping dough still attached.
• Bake in the preheated oven until outside edges of dough are browned, about 15 minutes. Cool crackers on the baking sheet; break into squares.

NUTTY BROWNIE THINS

Steps:

• For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the milled flaxseed and water and set aside.
• On a very low heat, gently melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium saucepan. Stir from time to time, then take off heat as soon as all is just melted.
• Stir in the nuts, sugar, vanilla extract, flour and baking powder and mix well. Finally, stir in the flaxseed and water mixture.
• Pour into an 8-by-8-by-2-inch lightly greased and floured pan. Bake for 9 minutes until just set, then leave to cool.
• For the garnish: Meanwhile, dry toast the hazelnuts in a small saute pan for 4 minutes. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and crush to a fine dust using a rolling pin.
• Once cool, remove the brownies from the pan. Cut into squares, put onto a serving plate or board and sprinkle over the nut dust.

• Using a tablespoonful, drop batter unto your cookie sheet leaving a couple inches space in between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly browned.
