There are several reasons why this should make you super excited. First, Kiran is an excellent chef. Her partner, Hannah, is gluten intolerant, so Kiran has mastered the art of gluten-free cooking in a way that I can only dream of. Plus, Kiran and and Hannah's apartment is impossibly adorable and they are some of the best hostesses I've had the pleasure of visiting, so I knew this recipe was guaranteed to be beautiful and cozy and wonderful, and of course I was right.
So without further ado, Kiran's amazing Mestizaje Cookies!
Greetings to everyone! It is an honor to be a guest on Justyna’s slice of the interwebs. Justyna and I met because of our mutual friend, Steph (Justyna’s roomie) and her discovery that the two of us were destined to be soul sisters. From our common interests in running, international education, pickling, baking, cooking, crafting, yoga, House of Cards, and of course more foodie related activities, we have endless topics to discuss and bond over. Lucky for me, Justyna and Steph recently moved in a couple blocks from Hannah and my apartment so we got to try her magic brownies first hand.
I’m not quite sure I can compare to this woman’s baking magic, but these cookies have been very healing to the long icy winter we’ve had in D.C. They are a beautiful mestizaje of a classic chocolate chip cookie, mulling spices, and the simmer pot they have going at Williams Sonoma.
Orange Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free and vegan)
2 ½ cups of almond flour
1 cup gluten-free oats
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp baking soda
10 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ cup agave
1 cup of Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chunks (finely chopped)
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp nutmeg
orange zest (one full orange)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, oats, salt, baking soda, chocolate chunks, and spices) in a large bowl.
3. Stir together wet ingredient (coconut oil, vanilla, and agave) and mix into dry ingredients.
4. Form balls and flatten onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Feel free to sprinkle some extra sea salt on top if you truly fancy the sweet/salty combo.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
6. Cool for 5-10 minutes as they may break easily.
7. Enjoy with a glass of almond milk, a warm blanket, and some Netflix episodes!
