Miso Almond Cookies
East meets West with these Miso Almond Cookies. Savoury miso compliments deeply roasted nutty almonds for a winning flavour combo. Plus these cookies are super easy to make and packed full of nutritious ingredients.
You will likely have a lot of excess oil when rolling out your cookies, don't worry this is completely normal - just blot away the excess with kitchen towel.
For a chia/flax egg combine 1 tbsp of milled chia/flax seeds in 3 tbsp of water. Leave to 'gel' for 10 minutes before using.
Due to the high fat content the cookies will break if moved too quickly so don't skip the cooling process.
