An easy way to grind flax seeds is in a coffee grinder

This makes a crispy/crunchy cookie See variations for making a softer cookie

/ cup walnuts

tablespoons coffee liqueur

tablespoons vegetable shortening nonhydrogenated

(or unrefined coconut oil or walnut oil

or canola oil)

(

eg Kahlua or Tia Maria)

DRY INGREDIENTS

/ cups brown rice flour (or spelt flour)

/ cup millet flour (or spelt flour)

/ cup ground hemp seeds

WET INGREDIENTS

/ cup brown rice syrup

/ cup maple syrup

(

or half ground flax seeds and half ground

/ cup walnut oil refined (or canola oil)

tablespoon vanilla extract

tablespoons coffee liqueur

(eg Kahlua or Tia Maria)

(or tablespoon coffee extract/flavoring)

sesame seeds)

tablespoons Sucanat sugar

or granulated sugar)

/ teaspoon sea salt

(

teaspoons baking powder (double acting)

Toast walnuts and glaze with coffee liqueur Cook until all liqueur is absorbed or evaporated After glazed

separate out halves or pieces of walnuts to be used for garnishing the cookies (one for each cookie) The rest

will be mixed directly into the dry ingredients

Preheat oven to degrees F ( degrees C)

Put parchment paper down on a baking sheet (if you don't have parchment paper you can oil your baking sheet)

Cookies can even stick a little to a nonstick baking sheet which messes up the cookies so I greatly prefer

parchment paper because it always makes for very easy removal

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl Cut shortening (or oil) into flour mixture (using a fork and a knife) Add

walnuts (except for the pieces for the tops of the cookies)

Blend wet ingredients in a separate bowl

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix together It may seem a bit dry at first but once you get all the

ingredients integrated it will form a slightly sticky shapable dough (If other flours besides those being called for

are used additional flour may be needed to create a stiff enough dough The dough is too wet if you can not

form cookies with your hands)

Form balls of dough and place on the cookie sheet (or sheets) They may be a bit crumbly but should bake
