Chocolate and orange, without
For these cookies, I decided to combine these two flavors and use some of my favorite ingredients like buckwheat flour and cashew nuts.
The cookies are made with a dough that I personally believe is one of my best recipes, a crunchy cookie on the outside and soft in the inside, that is
The filling is made of cashews, soaked and then processed with ingredients such as coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla, a lot of orange zest, and syrup to sweeten, which can be honey or maple syrup.
When you soak the nuts they are activated, which means that all the nutrients are released, so this is an important step, besides that it would be difficult to achieve the desired texture if you don’t soak them. So we must soak them at least 4 hours in water at room temperature.
Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret! If the tests tell me, send me an email or comment in the blog post how it came out, if you liked it, or that you would change it, I would love to listen to the advice of those who try my recipes! And if you share a photo on your Instagram or stories tag me like @gaspic_healthyberry so I can see it and I’ll share you in my stories!
Do not forget to share the recipe in your networks and with your loved ones, they will appreciate it as much as I do!
