Orange chocolate, Gluten free cookies

Orange chocolate, Gluten free cookies



A friend came to visit me at our home in Greece. We dream of a contracting company, we call the company S.O.S -  Shir, Orna, Shosss, we will build your house from scratch and bring the talent of simplicity and comfort aesthetics, enough with modern, all the houses look almost the same now. I like to combine colors, like I combine ingredients in food.

She came with cookies, I told her please take the cookies back with you, I don't eat that, she told me no, no, no, it's sugar-free and gluten-free, after an hour of laughing at the island's contractors, I opened the cookies, started with a taste and ate them all, 5 in number.
The taste, the orange, the chocolate, I couldn't help but look for a way to make exactly these.
This is the recipe I reached, I ate 8 in number and fell asleep from 7pm until 5am the next morning.

NOTE: You should make these cookies during the orange season, winter. Their peel is so fresh and delicious that you can eat it too.

You need to soak a cup of cashews the night before, and an orange peel two hours before.


What do we need?

1 cup almond flour
½ cup coarsely broken walnuts.
½ teaspoon of baking soda
¼ cup olive oil
⅓ teaspoon of salt
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey on the prepared cookies

Cacao mixture - in a blender
1 cup of cashews soaked in water overnight
½ cup almond milk (I prefer homemade)
4 tablespoons of cocoa powder
¼ peel of an orange soaked in boiling water for an hour
½ teaspoon orange zest
⅓ cup honey
¼ orange for juice

sprinkling
  Spread 1 teaspoon of honey on the prepared cookies
