Sprouted Lemon Cookies
- 2 cups organic sprouted flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup organic sugar
- 1 egg
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Grated zest of 2 lemons
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1/4 cup ground pistachios
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together, then add egg and beat in well.
- Add lemon juice and zest and mix until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk salt, baking powder and flour until combined. Then add to wet ingredients, mixing until blended. Be careful not to overmix, or cookies will turn out less tender.
- Roll cookies out and cut into desired shapes. Place on parchment lined, ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until edges appear lightly golden.
- Combine glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Allow cookies to cool slightly before glazing. Drizzle on glaze and sprinkle with pistachios. Let cool completely before eating.
You may want to place cookies on a wire rack to glaze. This will allow you to completely cover the top with glaze. Use a cookie sheet under the rack to catch drips. Allow glaze to set before removing cookies from rack.

- Add remaining flour to dough; knead 8-10 minutes. Half dough.
- Lightly flour surface. Roll out dough with rolling pin to approximately 9"x14" rectangle.
- Brush on half of extra butter and sprinkle on coconut sap sugar.
- Roll from short end to get tube 9" long. Cut into 1" buns.
- Place buns into pans close together with sides touching. Let rise about 2 hours – keep warm and covered.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20–25 minutes.
- Invert onto plate immediately upon removing from oven. Apply all yummy goo to buns that might have stuck to the pans.
Note: Sometimes topping overflows in oven; but beware putting bun pans on another surface as this takes away heat from the tops of the buns. Place a drip pan on lower rack instead.

Old Fashioned Tea Cakes
This recipe has got to be a couple hundred years old. My copy says to bake in hot oven until edges are brown. You may need to experiment, but start with a 350 degree oven and bake for 11–13 minutes. Be sure to line your baking pan with parchment to prevent sticking. Any of our sprouted flours will work, even the gluten–free flours. If using spelt or rye flour you may need to add water, 1 tablespoon at a time to get a good dough consistency for rolling out.
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup maple or date sugar
- 3 cups to your health sprouted flour
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla, blending well.
- Stir baking powder into flour and add slowly until a nice dough forms.
- Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4–inch thickness.
- Cut dough into circles or use a cookie cutter.
- Place on lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 11–13 minutes, or until edges brown. Simple and delicious.
