A soft dough of flour (or almond flour), sugar, flax eggs and fat, rolled by hand into balls, sometimes topped with an almond, and baked until the edges turn golden. Vegan version: Flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg).
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Mix the flour and sugar.
3
Add the flax eggs and oil and mix into a soft dough.
4
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls the size of a walnut and place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
Baking pan
💡Roll with damp hands: the soft dough won't stick, and the balls come out smooth.
5
Bake 12–15 minutes, until the cookies are golden at the edges.
⚙ BakingOvenBaking pan
💡Cookies that look too soft coming out of the oven firm up as they cool. Take them out when just the edges are golden.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
6
Let cool completely before serving.
