Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 drops stevia liquid
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch fine sea salt

For the filling:

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted

Instructions

Make the dough:

  • In a powerful blender, blend the cashews, milk, sugar, lemon juice, tahini, vanilla, and stevia until velvety smooth.
  • Add the coconut oil and blend just until combined.
  • It should be thick and creamy.
  • In a large bowl, sift in the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the wet ingredients and stir to combine. You should have a soft and sticky dough.
  • Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1-2 hours or up to overnight.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350ºF and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment.

Make the dough:

  • Combine the filling ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Divide the dough in half and roll each into a circle about 9 inches in diameter.
  • Gently spread about half the filling mixture evenly over each circle.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut each circle into 8 equal pie-shaped pieces.
  • Beginning at the wide end of each piece, roll toward the tip, tucking the point under the roll.
  • Curve each roll into a crescent shape and place on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the sheets hallway through, until edges are golden.
  • Cool before removing.

Cinnamon Sugar Variation:

  • For the filling, use 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar, and 2 tablespoons coconut oil.
