I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
In the bowl of your Thermomix blend the almonds for 5 secs./speed 6. Scrape down then blend 5 secs./speed 8 then scrape and blend 5 secs./speed 10.
You should have a fine almond meal.
Add the butter, coconut oil and honey and blend 5 secs./speed 6 or until the butter is fully incorporated.
Add the rest of the ingredients and blend 5-10 secs./speed 8 or until smooth.
Refrigerate until ready to use.Although you can just eat this as it is (raw cookie dough anyone), it is also lovely baked (of course).
Roll into balls if has been chilled, then flatten.
Or spoon directly onto your baking paper lined sheet if your cookie dough is still soft.
Bake at 160°C for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven. They should be slightly golden and set.For soft cookies let them cool on the tray before transferring to a rack as they are very delicate.
For crunchier cookies keep them in the oven but turn to its lowest setting or turn off and leave them until dry and crunchy (this takes an hour for me).
OPTIONAL: To make them last longer as crispy cookies dehydrate in a dehydrator if you have one.
You can add home made or store bought chocolate chips.
Or make spiced or fruity cookies by adding other seasonings like spices or dry fruit.
For soft applesauce cookies add 100g apple sauce (pureed cooked apple) and raisins as well as cinnamon. Makes amazing ginger nuts when spread thin and cooked until crisp.

Tip
Careful they burn very easily.
A great tip for getting every last spoonful of dough out is to get as much as you can, then close the lid and hit the turbo button or turn to speed 10 for a second. Voila, all the dough that was on the blades is on the sides of the bowl so you can get it out... that the "Chef's Tax" just eat it raw its delish!

I have just found my new favourite cookie dough! Excellent recipe!
As soon as we can have lemon or orange on the GAPS diet I am making lemon shortbreads with this recipe by adding lemon zest... and sandwiching together with EDC lemon curd (which I have also made with oranges and its amazing).
I just use half the amount of honey to the amount of sugar called for to make it GAPS (you can use ghee instead of butter too for almost completely lactose free)
So easy! And another way to get those good fats and to use up the whites (dough) and yolks (curd)!
