Chinese New Year Walnut Cookies
Walnut Cookies (Hup Toh Soh) are shared throughout the Chinese New Year as a symbol of Happiness. I have created a WFPB version of the cookies that I hope you will all like. Very easy to put together and only 10-12 minutes of cooking making it a healthy quick option for your New Year celebrations

- 1 flax egg 1 tbsp ground linseed (flaxseed) + 3 tbsp water

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup walnuts for blending with rolled oats to create flour
- ½ cup walnuts chopped for inside the cookie

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 280℃ (350℉).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Make up the flax egg then set aside to set for at least five minutes.
- In a blender or mixer, blend the rolled oats and ½ cup of walnuts to create a fine flour.
- Move the flour to a large mixing bowl, add all other ingredients except for the 8 walnuts for the topping, and mix thoroughly.
