WALNUT COOKIES with rice flour, easy and quick sweets for breakfast, great for a snack, ready in a few minutes, without butter and oil, light and delicious.
I don’t know about you, but at my house, Dungeons & Dragons nights always end the same way: laughter, epic stories, and… a craving for something sweet! After the last campaign with friends, between dice scattered on the table and miniatures everywhere, I realized a quick yet special dessert was needed.
That’s how my WALNUT COOKIES with rice flour were born: crunchy on the outside, soft inside, light because there’s no butter or oil, and most importantly, ready in just a few minutes. A smart recipe, perfect for those who have little time but don’t want to miss out on a homemade sweet. And I’ll tell you: they were so popular that we finished them before even tidying up the character sheets!
These little treats go wonderfully with a steaming hot tea, but I assure you that with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they become an elegant dessert to serve even when you have unexpected guests. I brought them to the table on a colorful tray: a sweet treat that instantly created a ‘post-session’ vibe.
The WALNUT COOKIES with rice flour are the perfect answer when you want a simple, quick, and genuine sweet to offer after dinner. Whether it’s a quiet evening or a long D&D session with friends, these light, butter-free, and gluten-free cookies make everyone happy.
