Chai spice cookie sandwiches with mango chia seed jam filling and dark chocolate drizzle (vegan + gluten free)
- Make the chai spice cookie dough: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in melted coconut oil (or vegan butter), vanilla extract and almond milk. Stir until just combined – do not overmix! Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Make the mango chia seed jam filling: Prepare your freezer-safe container with parchment paper by lining it with parchment paper so that no part of the surface touches anything but air (so it doesn’t stick). Then fill with 1/4 inch layer of water on top of which you’ll add 1 tablespoon chia seeds per cup used in recipe instructions below (e.g., if using 3 cups chickpea flour then use 6 tablespoons total divided between two containers). Leave overnight or up to 24 hours before using again this way – once soaked they will become gelatinous when mixing into cookie doughs later so don’t skip this step!
