Ingredients
- 1.25 cups of spelt flour (wholewheat can be used as an alternative but spelt gives the best result)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (any brown sugar can be used if you don't have coconut)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional but adds great texture)
- 5 tablespoons oil (I used mild olive oil but coconut oil (melted) or any other mild tasting oil is fine)
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon of aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)(see recipe note for alternative)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe Description
These soft, chewy, spicy, fruit & nut studded Hot Cross Cookies have all the flavours of a hot cross bun in cookie form!
My Hot Cross Cookies are incredibly flavourful and spiced to absolute perfection. They are soft, flecked with chewy raisins and crunchy walnuts then topped with delicious vanilla flavoured white crosses. Hot cross buns in cookie form! How cool is that?
They are great for gifting this Easter. Your friends and family will welcome a sweet treat that doesn’t involve chocolate. They are also really easy to make (no mixer needed) so great as an Easter activity for children. If nut allergies are an issue then the nuts can be omitted without affecting the recipe at all.
