Dessert - Rice flour cookies by Coralia J. - Recipia

Rice flour cookies are baked with ground flax and sunflower seeds, and stay slightly tender in the middle. Serve them as a sweet snack with tea; maple syrup sweetens them without making them too sweet. I choose very finely milled rice flour so the dough rolls out without any graininess. Preparation: 15 minutes. Cooking: 18 minutes. Total time: 33 minutes. Servings: 4. Approximately 200 kcal and 5 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the dough

64 g rice flour
32 g ground flax seeds
43 g ground sunflower seeds
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
30 ml water

For the sweet version

grated zest of 1 orange
2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup

For the savory version

1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the rice flour, ground flax and sunflower seeds, and baking soda. For the savory version, add the salt too. 2. For the sweet version, stir in the grated orange zest and maple syrup. For the savory one, add the oil. Gradually pour in the water until you have a dough that can be rolled out. 3. Roll the dough out to about 1 cm thick. If you make it thinner, the cookies will turn out hard. Cut out shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 4. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

Notes

Small shapes and thin edges brown faster, so check them around the 15-minute mark. If the dough crumbles, gradually moisten it with the measured water until it comes together. Keep the cookies in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can serve them with a cup of black tea, especially if you chose the sweet version. For the savory one, add the salt and oil instead of the orange and syrup. That was the original version, but I haven't tried it.
