"Adapted from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, these are like dense, chewy bites of all the best bits of carrot cake! The nuts are optional - I often leave them out (or add toasted sunflower seeds instead!)."

  • In another bowl, whisk together the flours, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and sea salt.

  • Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and line three baking sheets with parchment. Flatten into thick discs with the palm of your hand.

  1. I love these cookies, they are full of good healthy stuff!<br/>The one thing I changed is the baking time. They didn't look done enough in the time specified in the recipe so after the 5 minutes on the top rack I added 20 more minutes on the lower rack for a total of 35 minutes.

<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p> 9408826"
