Kamut® Cookies for Creme are a delicious dessert option that are both vegan and made with healthier alternatives to traditional cookies. Kamut® flour, a whole grain, adds a rich, nutty flavor and is easier to digest than other wheat flours. This recipe uses non-hydrogenated shortening instead of butter or margarine, making it a healthier choice overall. These cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family and can be enjoyed on their own or with a cup of coffee or tea. Serve with your favorite creme for an even more indulgent treat!

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, beat the sugar and shortening until well combined.
2.	Add coffee and vanilla extract and mix well.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together kamut flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
4.	Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients while mixing, until it forms a dough.
5.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
6.	Roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to make your desired shapes. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7.	Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn golden brown.
8.	Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9.	Serve with your favorite creme and enjoy!
