CINNAMON-WALNUT COOKIES (VEGAN)
Well, here it's the third week in July and it's raining and we're experiencing unseasonably cool temps. What's a Cookgirl to do stuck inside the house all day? A: Bake cookies! This recipe is from the Delicious Living magazine and elaborated by me to give the cookies a Middle Eastern flavor. Gluten-free, egg and dairy free-easy! The barberries, cardamom and orange blossom water were all my addition.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place walnuts, dates (and barberries if using) in a small food processor and PULSE until coarsely ground.
- PULSE in oil, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, orange blossom water and salt. Stop the machine from time to time and scrape down the sides of the bowl to help the mixture to blend well and form into a ball properly.
- Continue to pulse until mixture begins to form a ball.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough (I used a small, oiled cookie scoop), 1 tablespoon at a time, onto prepared baking sheet, forming into balls; flatten slightly.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, until firm.
- Cool on baking sheet.
VEGAN VANILLA COOKIES WITH WALNUTS
If you've never made vegan cookies, give these a try. Some of the ingredients may be unfamiliar, but putting them together is a no-brainer; use the tried-and-true technique of alternating wet and dry in your mixing bowl. Tapioca flour helps with the chewy texture, and the xanthan gum replaces gluten as the stabilizer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line three baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk the flours, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum together in a medium bowl.
- Put the sugar, applesauce, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, vanilla and vinegar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/3 cup water, until fully combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Spoon heaping tablespoons (or a small scoop) of the dough onto the baking sheets, 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake the cookies in two batches, two sheets at a time, until the cookies are set and slightly browned around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, and then remove to a rack and cool completely. Bake the remaining cookies on the third pan following the above directions.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cookies will taste. Look for organic, non-GMO, and fair-trade ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking cinnamon walnut cookies is 350°F (175°C). If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Before you store or enjoy the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon walnut cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a classic holiday cookie or a new favorite snack, these cookies are sure to please.
