Vegan Vanilla Almond Cookies With Mango Chia Icing.

Now that's a mouthful, (pun intended)!

Are you guys even ready for an oil free vegan vanilla almond cookie recipe that is going to blow your mind, and possibly change your life forever? Because One: they taste ahhhmazing and Two: They're healthy, with zero added oils and zero refined sugar! A yummy plant-based vegan vanilla cookie recipe that is totally guilt-free? Yes, please.

These are SO good with and without the icing - and the fact that I have made these over and over again, and have eaten them plain several times proves that point.

These cookies are sweet, semi-crunchy, a bit chewy, and just overall delicious - full of sweet vanilla and subtle almond flavor. Now add to that a tasty mango icing - fireworks in my mouth.

Are you team vanilla cookie or team chocolate cookie? If you are more of a chocolate cookie lover, then maybe these easy food processor chocolate cookies are more your thing. But, truth be told, I am also a TEAM CHOCOLATE COOKIE lover through and through, however - these sweet vanilla almond cookies have got me hooked! So what I am saying is - give 'em a chance. 😉

INGREDIENTS
For cookies:

• 1.5 cups of almond flour (210g)* (see notes for options)
• 1 cup of oat flour (105g)* (see notes for options) – certified GF if needed.
• 3 tablespoons agave or maple syrup (50g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce (72g)
• extra flour for dusting* (you can use almond or oat flour)

For Mango Chia Icing:

• 1 medium sized fresh mango (around 210g)
• 1 cup cashews (137g)* (see notes about soaking)
• 2 medjool dates (35g)
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice (30g)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon white chia seeds (8g) – optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine dry ingredients – almond flour, oat flour, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the wet ingredients – apple sauce, agave, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add wet ingredients to dry bowl and combine with a spoon. Mixture may seem dry at first but use your hands to completely fold the wet into dry if needed.
3. Using your hands, form a ball with the cookie dough. If it’s too sticky add bits of oat flour or almond flour to the dough until you are able to form a ball.
