I really like the quinoa flakes. They have the consistency of oats. Great addition to the cookies. Thank you for sharing these on Friday Foodie Fix! These look really good.

It's a take on a Cooking Light recipe for Anzac biscuits, a coconut-oatmeal cookie from Austrailia. No eggs or dairy! Ingredients 1 cup quinoa flakes 1 cup quinoa flour 1/2 t xanthan gum 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3 tablespoons water 1/4 cup stick margarine or butter, melted 2 tablespoons Lyle's golden cane syrup (such as Lyle's) or light-colored corn syrup Preheat oven to 325°. Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Add water, margarine, and syrup; stir well. Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Flatten cookies slightly; they do not spread, so choose your thickness now! Bake at 325° for 12 minutes or until almost set. Remove from oven; let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks. I wanted to give my quinoa cookie recipe, mostly because i was surprised it turned out so good!

Since I was somewhat rushing, and have a bag of Pamela's that just expired (oops), I substituted 1 cup of Pamela's for the brown rice, sorghum, and cornstarch (which I really try to avoid). I used about 3/4 tsp baking powder and a pinch of sea salt since Pamela's already contains those ingredients. I also used soy milk instead of rice milk. I didn't have enough honey to try subbing any for sugar, so I'll have to wait on that experiment. I also added an egg for moisture and flexibility. I was really surprised how quickly everything came together. I figured that the freshly ground peanut butter would not cooperate, but it was not a problem and I was able to stir everything by hand. I ended up with 9 large cookies. They are delicious - crispy/crunchy eggs and chewy centers. Hearty, but not heavy. Great use of quinoa flakes!! Next time, I'll have to remember to space them further apart :) I used parchment paper, and they didn't stick even without buttering/spraying. Ideas for future variations include almond butter, cashew butter, or sunbutter (reducing the sugar for the sunbutter, which I believe contains sugar). I also am considering subbing some of the sugar for chocolate chips to make up for a lack of sweetness. Thanks – these were awesome! Hi again, Sea,
