-
Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
-
In a medium bowl combine flours, baking powder, and spices
-
In a small bowl, combine sugar, vanilla, chia eggs, sweet potato and oil
-
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until incorporated, add in the walnuts if using
-
Remove the dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead the dough until no flour is visible, and it has become soft. Dough will be sticky.
-
Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll into logs about 3/4" high and 4-5" wide, depending on how long you want your cookies to be.
-
Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown
-
Remove both logs from oven and let cool on the pan for about 15-25 minutes
-
Once logs have cooled down, use a serrated knife to slice them into cookies, each about 1" thick
-
Line the cookies up on the baking sheet and return to the oven for another 12-15 minutes.
-
Remove the cookies and flip each one oven before returning to the oven for another 12-15 minutes.
-
Depending on your oven and the thickness of your cookies they made need an additional 5-10 minutes in the oven. They will not be crunchy immediately leaving the oven but will harden as they cool.
-
If desired, drizzle with vegan chocolate once cooled.
