Chai spiced cookies
Baking is not my thing, but I really like a good cookie- not too big, but chewy and with taste. This recipe, I have found from texanerin.com. super baking site, but obviously I had to change the recipe slightly due to the sugar content. The taste was fantastic- they did go soft already after 24 hours, but it was during a high humidity time. so try them out, I certainly will do that again….

Good to know
This recipe was originally made with only almond flour instead of the oat and sweet sorghum. You decide what works for you. Also the original recipe called for tightly packed 150 g sugar. that’s much too sweet for my diet. There is room for changes and improvements to the recipe depending on your allergies. take a look at the Texaserin.com pages. there are a lot of recipes and tips. I am not concerned with vegan or vegetarian or paleo or any other ‘label’ only with allergies- so check through and see what works. i am not kidding you- baking is the hardest part and we all need to accept the limitations, we do have instead of adding anything extra.
