Recipe


Ingredients

  • Base
  • 150g almond meal
  • ¼ cup macadamia nut oil
  • 85g rice-malt syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tbsp water

  • Filling
  • 10–15 pecan nuts (about 2 heaped tbsp), roasted & roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp nut butter (I used cashew nut butter)
  • 3 tbsp rice-malt syrup or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch cloves
  • 15 whole pecan nuts, roasted, to top each cookie

Method


  • Preheat oven to 150ºC. Line baking tray with baking paper.
  • In bowl or food processor, mix ingredients for base until well combined. You should have a sticky, slightly oily dough that you can roll into balls. If not, add more almond meal, tablespoon by tablespoon.
  • With damp hands, roll dough into small balls (a bit smaller than a ping-pong ball), place on lined baking tray and press middle with your thumb to make indented centre.
  • Now make filling by mixing all ingredients until well combined.
  • Place about half a teaspoon on each cookie, top with a whole pecan nut and bake for 15 mins or until golden brown.
  • If you'd like to caramelise tops, sprinkle with a little coconut sugar before baking.
  • Allow to cool (they will firm up as they cool) and store in airtight container. They can also be stored in the freezer.
