Walnut cookies are a nice change of pace from the many other Christmasy recipes available on veganevibes. If you haven’t noticed yet, you still have a chance to win two free e-books with easy, vegan recipes for Christmas. Just sign up for the newsletter and off you go with tempting cookies and other sweets. Today, however, we are focusing entirely on the walnut cookies.
Vegan walnut cookies with chocolate
It’s crazy how fast time flies and it’s almost Christmas again. I can hardly believe it when I glance at the calendar and feel like time is racing. Unfortunately, we are already in the midst of a Corona wave again and all Christmas markets have been canceled (at least here in Bavaria). Reason enough to retreat to your own kitchen and bake in peace. I really love it when I can make cookies, as it almost puts me in a sort of meditation. Scented lamp and nice music on, make dough and shape beautiful, delicious little cookies.
TIP: I love essential oils and fragrance lamps and have been using Primavera products for several years. I have no affiliation with the company and am not sponsored. This one is a personal recommendation that comes from the heart.
Vegan cookies with walnuts and chocolate
But let’s get back to today’s cookies, with fine walnuts. I treated myself to a large package of organic walnuts for this recipe. Admittedly, here and there I also nibble one directly from the package. For the cookies, I grind them fresh in my high-powered blender until a flour is formed. Add spelt flour, raw cane sugar, flaxseed egg, cinnamon and margarine. For topping we still need walnut kernels and melted chocolate. That’s it.
I use my MagiMix to make the dough, which is used almost daily in my kitchen. The dough should be uniform and firm at the end, but still malleable. If it is a tad too dry, it is best to add a dash of vegetable milk. Be careful, as too much liquid quickly has an opposite effect.
TIP: The dough does not necessarily need to go back into the refrigerator. Many websites advise this, however, I personally find that you can well do without it.
If you’re in the mood for some other cookie recipes today, I have the following suggestions for you:
- Vegan florentines
- Gluten free cookies
- Chocolate cinnamon curls
- Vanilla crescent cookies
- Chocolate spitzbuben
- Gingerbread cookies
- Angel eyes
TIP: Walnuts are especially healthy for the heart and brain. They contain valuable antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
