One cookie in three wonderful winter flavors.
Because there is nothing more enjoyable than one classic and fun recipe,
Which gives us three different cookie flavors that will accompany us for a few days.

One perfect dough,
Divided into three parts,
Each part gets a different wintery and perfect taste
That becomes your pampering winter cookies.

One cookie that has a lemon cookie, as well as an orange cookie and a cinnamon cookie.

There is no greater fun than this.
Minimum effort, maximum taste and endless indulgence 🙂

All it takes is one bowl in which we mix all the ingredients that will turn into a fun dough to work with.
The dough is divided into three parts and each will have a different and enjoyable taste.

Short baking and the smells will start dancing in all corners of the house.
Everyone will come to check what’s going on in the oven,
And especially to snack on the sweet flavors that await them inside.

Indulgence wintery and happy days of cookies to us all 🙂

Winter Cookies

Ingredients: suitable for 12-15 cookies

• ½ cup almond butter (Can be substituted for peanut butter / cashew butter / hazelnut butter)
• ¼ cup maple syrup (For alternatives, have a look at “A little extra From Me”)
• ½ cup oat flour (For alternatives, have a look at “A little extra From Me”)
• ½ cup almond flour (For alternatives, have a look at “A little extra From Me”)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ teaspoon of every add-in: lemon zest, orange zest and cinnamon.

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) on turbo mode (Upper and lower heat mode is also possible), and line a standard baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl put all liquid ingredients, almond butter, maple syrup and salt and mix well.
3. To the bowl add dry ingredients, oat flour, almond flour and baking powder and mix well until forming a ball of dough that’s convenient to work with.
4. Split our dough into three equally sized balls. Mix each ball with one of the add-ins  (Lemon zest, orange zest and cinnamon) and create three balls of dough in different flavors.
5. Attach the dough balls to each other and arrange them in a rectangle shape, about the size of a standard loaf pan (Have a sneak peek at the pictures below). 
6. put the dough balls that we put together on parchment paper, place another piece of parchment paper on top, roll out the dough until it’s about 1cm (0.4”) thick and remove the top parchment paper.
7. Move the roll out dough with the parchment paper to the baking pan, and using a toothless knife cut the dough into equally sized rectangles of happiness.
8. Put in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are dry and slightly tanned.
9. With a knife go over the cuts we made prior to baking, so that the cookies will separate from each other easily.

Cool for a little while and eat

A little extra from me:

• Can be kept in a sealed container on the counter for up to 3 days.
• Almond butter can be substituted for peanut butter / cashew butter / hazelnut butter.
• Oat flour can be substituted for green buckwheat flour / coconut flour / more almond flour/ By making this change we make the recipe kosher for passover.
