Vegan Peanut Cookies with Vanilla

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp flaxseed (10 g)
• 90 g roasted salted peanuts
• 1 Vanilla bean
• 90 g vegan margarine
• 90 g whole grain sugar
• 250 g spelt flour Type 1050
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 50 g crunchy peanut butter

Instructions

1. 1.

   First, grind the flaxseeds in a blender and soak them in 3 tbsp water.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, roughly chop the peanuts. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife.

3. 3.

   Whisk the margarine with 75 g whole grain sugar until fluffy. Mix the flour, baking powder, and vanilla seeds together and stir into the margarine-sugar mixture along with flaxseed and peanut butter. Knead everything with 1–2 tbsp water into a smooth dough and cover for 30 minutes in the fridge.

4. 4.

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the dough into a roll, cut about 1 cm thick slices, and place them on the sheet. Press a few peanuts onto each cookie and sprinkle with remaining whole grain sugar. Bake the vegan peanut cookies in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan 160 °C; gas: level 2–3) for 13–15 minutes.
