Crujiente Sorpresa [Spn/Eng]

Excellent start to the week, #PlantPower(Vegan) Community

It's a pleasure to be here sharing a few of my snacks. For some time now, I've been fortunate enough to be motivated to make homemade cookies. These don't have any chemical additives to preserve them; they're healthier. Plus, it allows me to do a bit of therapy by focusing on the process of making them, thinking about that hot coffee to enjoy.

As I explained in the previous paragraph, making cookies at home is fun, therapeutic, and healthy in many ways. First, we usually have the ingredients to use at home; if we're missing one, we can substitute it with another. In this recipe, the first one I made with basic ingredients a few weeks ago. Then, since creativity is encouraged, I remembered I had shredded coconut, so I made ones with coconut, oats, and flaxseed. This time, I added a new ingredient: cocoa.

The properties of flaxseed are extremely well-known and can be consumed in different ways. Cocoa also has its properties. It's a way of combining ingredients, incorporating, changing, and creating new flavors for homemade cookies.

Para esta receta se utilizó

2 tazas de harina de trigo
½ taza de azúcar
1/3 de taza de aceite vegetal
2 cucharadas de linaza molida
3 cucharadas de agua
1 ½ cucharada de cacao en polvo
1 cucharadita de polvo de hornear
1 cucharadita de vainilla
½ cucharadita de sal

For this recipe, we used:

2 cups of wheat flour
½ cup of sugar
½ cup of vegetable oil
½ tablespoons of ground flaxseed
½ tablespoons of water
½ tablespoons of cocoa powder
½ teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of vanilla
½ teaspoon of salt

Lo primero que vamos a hacer es unir la linaza (previamente molida) con el agua. La dejamos reposar por 2 minutos antes de usar.

The first thing we'll do is combine the flaxseed (previously ground) with the water. Let it sit for 2 minutes before using.

Si aún no se integra de un todo los ingredientes, puede colocar un poco de agua, unas tres o cuatro cucharadas (o puede usar leche vegetal; en esta preparaciòn se utilizò agua).

Al lograr la uniformidad de la masa, que quede con una textura moldeable, y no se pegue en los dedos pasamos a incorporar el cacao en polvo. Volvemos a amasar muy bien hasta que el cacao quede totalmente integrado.

If the ingredients aren't fully combined yet, you can add a little water, about three or four tablespoons (or you can use plant-based milk; water was used in this recipe).

Once the dough is smooth and has a moldable texture that doesn't stick to your fingers, add the cocoa powder. Knead again until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.

Así queda la textura de la masa.

This is the dough's texture.

Procedemos a armar las bolitas con las manos, la masa está muy suave y se presta para moldearlas.

We proceed to form the balls with our hands. The dough is very soft and easy to mold.
