Gluten free seeded cookies with ground almonds... ☕️

Hi everyone,

I fancied some shortbread type biscuits so I made these with 50g ground almonds, 150g gf plain flour, 150ml/g coconut oil, 50g coconut sugar and 1 tea spoon of xanthan gum.

I sprinkled them with sesame seeds before baking, coconut sugar is very dark so cakes and biscuits look a dark brown colour. I baked them in a muffin dish so they are nice thick cookies.

Xanthan gum is used as a binder in gluten free baking and its an emulsifier so it binds water and oil and is used extensively in mayo's, so a great addition to egg replacer I'd have thought.

I am going to have one now and with a cuppa...😊

I could do with one of those. Didn’t know about xantham gum so I will get some of that. I hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks Zest, they looked over cooked before I baked them I thought. I just like using coconut sugar and I really like one with banana and ice cream...😊
