CHRISTMAS SPICE COOKIES

Makes 9 big or about 16 small cookies

Gluten free : Dairy Free : Vegetarian

1 free range egg

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon mixed spice

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup mixed dried fruit

3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1 1/2 cups almond meal

2 tablespoons coconut flour

Heat oven to 170C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Whisk together egg, olive oil, vanilla, baking powder, maple and spices until creamy. Add dried fruit, walnuts, almond meal and coconut flour and mix. Measure 1 or 2 tablespoons (depending on how big you would like them naturally!) mixture, press down gently with top of fingers and place on baking tray. Bake for 16-18 minutes, more if you’d prefer more crunchy. Cool completely on tray then eat! I like to store these in the fridge… random personal preference but up to you!
