Chocolate cookies? Vanilla tea biscuits? Why not have both! Gluten-free, simple recipe for delicious vegan pinwheel cookies. Refined sugar-free.
Ingredients
Vanilla Layer:
- 6 tbsp white rice flour (I used a finely ground one)
- 2 tbsp cashew butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp salt
Chocolate Layer:
- 7 tbsp white rice flour (I used a finely ground one)
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cashew butter
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment and set aside.
- Process all vanilla layer ingredients in a food processor until the mixture begins to form a ball (note if the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more flour, if too dry, add a bit more maple syrup). Form the mixture into a ball with your hands and knead briefly, then flatten into a disk. Place the disk between two sheets of parchment paper on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll out into an ⅛” thickness, and roughly the shape of a rectangle. Remove the top layer of parchment and set aside (leaving the base resting on the bottom parchment sheet for now).
- Process all chocolate layer ingredients in a food processor until the mixture begins to form a ball (note if the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more flour, if too dry, add a bit more maple syrup). Form the mixture into a ball with your hands and knead briefly, then flatten into a disk. Place the disk between two sheets of parchment paper on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll out into an ⅛” thickness, roughly into the same shape and size rectangle as the vanilla layer. Peel off the parchment layer from the top.
- Carefully flip the chocolate layer over the vanilla layer, leave the parchment paper on top and go over the now combined layers with a rolling pin to flatten them a little. Remove the sheet of parchment from the top. Starting at on long edge of the rectangle, carefully roll up the two layers into a log (I use the bottom sheet of parchment paper to help by lifting one of the sides of the rolled out dough and rolling it up from there). *Note if you want your cookies really round, freeze the log for 20 mins, then roll back and forth on the counter to get it into a round shape. If you don’t mind them being a bit more flat (as pictured) skip the freezing stage.
- Remove the parchment from the roll (ok to leave it resting on top), and slice the roll into rings that are approx. a ¼” thick. Transfer each cookie onto prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10 mins (or bake longer for crispier cookies to your liking). Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool a few minutes (they will firm up a bit as they cool off). Enjoy!
