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.
Sprouted Crackers
- 5 cups organic sprouted flour
- 2 1/4 cups organic whole buttermilk or yogurt
- 1/2 cup organic unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 2 tsp sea salt
- Place flour and buttermilk in stand mixer and blend until slightly stiff dough forms.
- Add melted butter, baking powder, salt, and flavoring (see below).
- Blend well.
- Taking a fourth of the dough at a time, roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness on a floured surface.
- Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut crackers into squares.
- Place close together on a lightly buttered baking sheet and place in oven on lowest possible temperature (around 150-200 degrees).
- Leave in until completely dried (several hours).
- Will be crispy and yummy.
For older ovens, if your lowest temp is 200 degrees, prop door open very slightly (less than 1 inch) and dry at least over night. Food dehydrators work great, too, as well as a wonderful sunny day as long as you cover your crackers to keep bugs and dust away.
Variations:
Rosemary/Walnut – to basic recipe add 2 rounded tablespoons of ground rosemary, 1 tbsp. dried rosemary leaves, and ¼ tsp. of walnut oil.
Sesame/Poppy Seed – add 2 Tbsp. each of Sesame and Poppy Seeds
Cinnamon – add 4 Tbsp. ground cinnamon, ½ tsp. cinnamon oil, and ¾ cup sucanat or rapadura.
Cracked Pepper – add 2 Tbsp. of cracked black, green, or pink peppercorns.
