Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies will bake evenly and achieve a nice golden color.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of buckwheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Once all the dough is portioned out, gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers. This will help them bake evenly and achieve a nice shape.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious gluten-free buckwheat honey cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- For extra flavor, try using a dark, robust honey like buckwheat honey to enhance the cookie's depth.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make the cookies tough and dense.
- Use parchment paper for easy cookie removal and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to achieve the best texture and prevent crumbling.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For added indulgence, consider drizzling melted dark chocolate over the cooled cookies.
