Ingredients
- Dry ingredients
- 1 c. buckwheat flour
- 2 Tbsp. dark cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp. coconut sugar
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- Wet ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. solid coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp. organic maple syrup
- 2-3 Tbsp. homemade non-dairy milk
Preparation
Step 1
1.Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
2.In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut in the coconut oil until small lumps form in the flour.
3.Add the maple syrup and 2 Tbsp. of non-dairy milk and mix until a dough forms. If it is too clumpy still add another tablespoon of non-dairy milk. You might have to use your hands at this point to ensure that that the dough fully forms without having to add more liquid than necessary.
4.If the dough is sticky at this point, place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. Otherwise roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until 1/8" thick.
5.Using a mini teddy bear cookie cutter, cut into shapes. Use 2 small pieces of dough from the leftovers to make the nose and belly--one smaller than the other--and gently but firmly press down into the dough. with a toothpick make circles for the eyes, nose, and belly button.
6.Dust with coconut sugar and bake for 8 minutes. Allow to cool to firm up.
