Ingredients
1cupsunflower seed halva or you can use this recipe for Ukrainian Sunflower Seed Halva
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1teaspoonbaking powder
2tablespoonsmaple syrup
2tablespoonsalmond milk
1 1/2cupsflour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and line 1 or 2 baking trays with parchment.
Combine halva and syrup in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until combined.
Add baking powder, almond milk, and vanilla and mix until creamed. Mix in flour just until the dough comes together (you don't want to overmix or the cookies will be tough.)
Divide the dough in half and roll out each half on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch tall. Cut into 2 inch squares and place about 1/2 an inch apart on prepared tray. Use a fork to poke holes on top, then place in oven and bake cookies in batches for 10 - 12 just until they are slightly browning on edges.
Remove and cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
