Stellas Vegan Semolina Cookies Recipes

STELLA'S VEGAN SEMOLINA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flours, baking powder, salt, and allspice in a bowl and mix well. In a separate bowl, place oil, sugar, water and extracts and mix well. Slowly sift dry mixture into the wet mixture. Do not overmix. Roll quarter size balls out of mixture and place on parchment paper/baking pan. Once lined up properly, you can push a nut or topping of your choice into the cookie ball. This helps to flatten the ball a bit as well as add flavor and eye candy. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 and allow to rest for 5 minutes before putting them on a cool plate.
