Ingredients
- 150 g Almond flour
- 26 g Buckwheat flour
- 6 g Tiger Nut flour
- 1/2 C gluten free rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp psyllium husk powder
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 4 TBSP unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 1/2 TBSP water
- 1/2 C homemade caramel sauce use the recipe on this blog
- 2 C Snickers candy bar, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- In a small bowl, weigh your almond flour, buckwheat flour, and tiger nut flour. Add in the rolled oats, baking soda, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the chia seeds and water. Let stand for 3-5 minutes.
- In a large glass bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer. Add caramel sauce and mix. Add chia seeds/water mixture and mix.
- Add dry ingredients and mix. Add chopped Snickers and using a spatula mix into the dough.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a small sized cookie sheet(about 1-1.5 TBSP), scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets. Scoop 12 scoops. Bake for 12 minutes on the center rack(Only bake one at a time). While these are baking, fill the second baking sheet. Repeat when first sheet is done, and continue until all the dough is baked.
- After the twelve minutes, remove cookies from oven and leave them on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Sometimes some of the caramel "leaks" out of the cookie a little. After a minute or two, use a small metal spoon to gently push the caramel back towards the cookie so that it is a round shape- the cookies are still somewhat soft, but the caramel will start to harden quickly and you won't be able to push the caramel back towards it.
- Remove the cookies to a cooking rack to finish cooling.
Notes
If you can't make the homemade caramel sauce, you can substitute a store bought sauce, but I can't guarantee the results.
