Flourless Chai Sandwich Cookies

June 20, 2015September 25, 2015 Melissa King 16 Comments

I have been wanting to make something chai flavored for a long time. I am so glad I decided to make these Flourless Chai Sandwich Cookies. They are quick and easy to make. I filmed a video for You Tube the other day about coconut cream. So I decided to use the coconut cream in this cookie recipe to take it to the next level. If you enjoy my other flourless cookie recipes, you will enjoy these!

These delicious cookies are vegan, gluten free and paleo. If you want to make things extra easy, you can skip the filling and just make the cookies. If you make the filling, you can either make cookie sandwiches like I did, or you can just frost the tops. Your choice. I like my chai flavoring spicy, but if you don’t you can lessen the spices a little. 🙂

Guest Post: Almond Butter Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies

Hello everyone, my name is Miryam and I am the dietitian behind the food blog Eat Good 4 Life. I’m so thrilled that Melissa has asked me to do a guest post for her. We have been blogging buddies for quite sometime but never meet until last week. We were able to participate on a blogging trip together in Napa Valley, CA where we were able to drink plenty of wine, eat and chat about food. It was a great experience to say the least. Awesome company.

Have you made thumbprint cookies before? I have actually made some in the past but without any success. My thumbprint cookies have turned super dry and crumbly both times I attempted to make them. I wanted to keep these almond butter cookies no bake. I wanted to make sure they would turn out okay, and not baking them was definitely the way to go.

4 Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies

We are about to go on vacation and I needed to use up some bananas. So I made these 4 Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies. These were a cinch to make! Less than 20 minutes.

I added chocolate chips to mine, but that is totally optional. I can see raisins also working well in this recipe. These cookies are healthy enough for breakfast! 🙂

This recipe is super easy. Vegan, gluten free and grain free. I used quinoa flakes, so there is a nice protein boost in here as well. If you don’t want to use quinoa flakes, you can always use quick oats in place of them. These cookies freeze great, so make a big batch and freeze some for busy mornings.

Not only are these healthy cookies flourless, but they also contain no refined sugar. These cookies are vegan, gluten free and even paleo approved. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you need a nut free version, you can try using sunflower butter.
