Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 Egg
  • ⅓ cup Cashew Butter
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Rind
  • 1 cup  Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1 ½ cups Wholegrain Spelt Flour  (sifted - sift a little extra flour in case the dough is too lose to roll out)

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

  • ¼ cup Raw Cashew Nuts (natural, to be crushed for topping the cookies)
  • 1 teaspoon Honey

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients.

  • Whisk the egg and cashew butter in an electric mixer until well blended.
  • Add the honey, vanilla, fresh lemon juice and rind. Continue to whisk for another minute.
  • Gradually add the other ingredients and whisk until well blended.
  • If the dough is loose, gradually add a little sifted spelt flour until you have a dough that you can roll out.
  • Form a ball from part of the dough and place it between two baking sheets.
  • Flatten the dough with a rolling pin.
  • The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick – 1/3 centimeter thick.
  • Cut the dough with a cookie cutter form of your choice.

  • Place the cut-out forms on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet. Keep a small distance between forms since the dough expands in baking.
  • Continue the process until all the dough is cut into forms and placed onto the baking trays.
  • Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with ¼ cup water.
  • Gradually brush the cookies with the mixture.
  • Sprinkle a small amount of the pre-crushed cashew nuts in the middle of each cookie. You can do this delicately with your fingers.
