Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Walnut Fennel Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the plant-based milk and vanilla extract. Once smooth, combine this with the dry mixture to form the cookie dough.
  3. Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until a cohesive dough forms, then add chopped walnuts and fennel seeds, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Scoop portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, press gently to form cookie shapes, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
