Instructions

  • Separate the egg white from the egg yolk and set aside.
  • In a big bowl, mix spelt flour, ground almonds and a pinch of salt. Add cold chopped butter, maple syrup, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Crumble wet and dry ingredients together and knead to a dough with your hands. Wrap the dough into a plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for an hour.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and cut it in half. On a floured surface, roll out one half around 0,5 cm (0,2”). Cut out cookies with a cookie cutter. Roll discard dough again and cut out cookies until you have 30 cookies. Continue with the other half of the dough and cut out cookies with holes.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Transfer the first batch of cookies onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool and transfer the second batch of cookies onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let cool completely.
  • Once cookies are cool add the spiced cashew butter to the base of the cookie and place another cookie on top. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and enjoy.
