How to Make Cinnamon Walnut Cookies Vegan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup walnuts and 1 cup pitted dates until coarsely ground.
  3. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until combined.
  4. Stop the food processor frequently to scrape down the sides, ensuring the mixture blends well and forms a cohesive ball. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
  5. Continue pulsing until a dough ball forms.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming them into balls.
  8. Gently flatten each ball slightly.
  9. Bake for 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are firm.
  10. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
