Spelt flour cookies

Ingredients:
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup fresh peeled apple
1/4 cup maple syrup (organic raw sugar is preferred but maple syrup can be used as an alternative)
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup oat flour (take oats and blend them until refined like course flour)
1 cup spelt flour
1 tsp vanilla essence; for variety you can add 1tsp of ground Elachi (cardamom).
1 tsp baking powder

First, put the walnuts into a food processor. Blend until the walnuts are finely ground. Then add the apples, maple syrup and raisins. Blend until smooth. Add vanilla essence and blend.  Add all the flour and baking powder and blend.  If mixture is too dry add a little water, otherwise, the mixture should be like a very soft cookie dough. Prepare you tray by adding one small drop of ghee to grease your tray. Make sure to flatten the dough out on the tray and the cookies will become nice and round and flat.  Bake at 180 C or 350 F for 20 mins, or until golden on top. (Note: Giriraj Maharaj tends to like soft cookies). If the cookies are not sweet enough, you may pour 1tsp of maple syrup on top.
