How to Make Almond Butter Raisin Cookies Vegan Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Soak 1 cup raisins in 1/2 cup warm water for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup roasted almond butter, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tbsp water).
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the drained raisins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
