Chia Seed Wafer Cookies!
Chia Seed Wafer Cookies! The hinges and case on my lap top are coming apart, so I have been taping it to the best of my ability. I hate taking my computer in to get looked at. I know it can take up to two weeks to get it back and I have a blog, school and store to run (that can’t happen). If there is anything wrong I just suffer with it until it gets really bad! Well when I ran out of duct tape I realized it was time to take it in. After almost two hours in line they finally checked my computer, and it turns out that I didn’t have accidental insurance.
Although I have not had an accident it’s more wear and tear my insurance does not cover that. I still don’t understand what I am paying geek squad for, and after asking how much to fix my lap top; they were going to charge me 120 bucks! Just too change the hinges and case (I don’t think so). I declined and bought more duct tape too wrap it up. I finally talked Josh into trying to fix it, so I am hoping in the next two weeks we can get the parts. I can’t wait until my lcd screen is no longer hanging to the side and I can say “Good bye tape”!
When it comes to cookies I can go either crispy or chewy, but if I had to make a choice I would go with crispy cookies. I love the taste of anything that crunches and snaps, and if you’re a fan of crispy cookies you will adore chia wafers. If you prefer a chewy version, take the cookies out the oven a few minutes early. However this is meant to be a crispy cookie. If you’re looking to add more fiber to your diet, and kill your sweet tooth at the same time. Look no further then chia wafers, if you can’t find agave, you can substitute with maple syrup or honey. I would not recommend replacing the liquid sweetener with extra coconut sugar because they may not increase in volume. Enjoy your crunchy cookies and the added fiber as well.
Chia Seed Wafer Cookie Recipe:
¾ cup chia seeds
¼ cup whipped butter, softened
1 egg white
½ cup coconut sugar
½ cup agave nectar
½ tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup flour
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. baking powder
Recipe Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chia seeds on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes (make sure they don’t burn). In a large bowl mix coconut sugar, agave, butter, egg white, vanilla extract, flour, salt, baking powder and toasted chia seeds together until combined.
Use a spoon to drop ½-2 tsps. of dough, about 1 ½ inches apart onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Let cookies cool for about 2 minutes before removing from baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely. Store wafers in an airtight container.
I have GOT to try this as I am a fan of chia seeds!
Thanks for sharing!
That’s wonderful, I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
These wafer cookies sound divine!
Thank you 🙂
I’ve never thought of adding chia seeds to cookies. Sounds amazing 🙂
These look so good
Thanks so much 🙂
Hi There,
I was just wondering how you whip the butter?
These look amazing I would love to try them x
Danielle
you don’t need to whip butter you can find it at any grocery store.. 🙂
Perfect, thank you.. Do you mean the butter will say “whipped butter” or just soft butter? Apologies I am in Australia and I have not seen whipped butter here 🙂
It will say whipped butter I talk a lot about it in this post http://www.savynaturalista.com/2014/03/03/low-fat-chocolate-chip-cookies . You can’t miss it, I don’t know if they sell it in Australia. You could use margarine if you like.. 🙂
.where do I find coconut sugar?
You can find it online, walmart, wholefood and sprouts
Can you substitute coconut butter for the regular butter to make it dairy free?
You could try, but I don’t know if the wafers will spread the way they will with butter.. If your looking to make them dairy free you could try earth balance butter!
How many calories are each cookie and what is the nutritional value? I am logging my food, calories, etc… so I’m trying to figure out how to put in that information.
I am sorry but I don’t provide that information. I know there are tools you can use to put in the whole recipe and then get the nutritional value. Hope that helps 🙂
It appears to have sesame seeds in them as well, are there?
Chia seeds range in color.
Are you asking or telling? I have seen chia seeds in many colors. There are white and black ones 🙂 they all have the same benefits in my opinion!
Nope just chia seeds 🙂
If I cannot find agave nectar or coconut sugar (I live in a small town and have not seen them here), what can I substitute with?
you can try brown rice syrup
I made these tonight and loved them! I had to use a few substitutions but they came out exactly as described. Even my toddler loved them and I don’t feel *too* badly giving him this as a treat. Thanks for a great recipe!
I am sooo happy you guys enjoyed them 🙂
Hi! I was wondering if I can just use regular unsalted butter, honey in place of agave nectar and regular sugar in place of coconut sugar for this recipe? Thank you!
I don’t know if it will come out like my cookies but you could try 🙂
Could these be baked and then frozen to use later? (And/or could you freeze the dough?) I’m worried a whole batch won’t get eaten quickly enough.
Can these be baked and then frozen for a later use? Or could the dough be frozen?
You can try I have never done this so I can’t tell you if it can or can’t
what types of flour can I use. maybe oats, rice, almond? have you tried them?
Regular flour is what I used it’s in the ingredients 🙂
look good…why do you bake the chia seeds? Looking forward to trying these for my husband to carry an energy snack on his long runs.
It gives them a toasted flavor that I like, but you don’t half to do that! Most of my readers who made this recipe loved the cookies without toasting the chia seeds! I just love the toasted flavor 🙂
