Raisin and Almond Cookies

Vegetarian Times Issue: November 1, 2008   p.46

The secret ingredient here is strong coffee, which gives these cookies their rich flavor.

Directions

1. To make Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in bowl. Grind flaxseeds in blender 30 seconds, or until reduced to fine powder. Add 1/4 cup cooled coffee, and blend 2 minutes. Add prunes and remaining 1/2 cup coffee; blend 1 minute, or until combined. Add margarine and almond extract; blend 20 seconds to combine. Blend in sugar, then add to flour mixture. Fold in raisins and almonds.

2. Drop 1-Tbs. dollops of dough 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake 14 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

3. To make Glaze: Whisk together all ingredients and 1 Tbs. water in bowl until smooth. Drizzle 1/2 tsp. Glaze over each cooled cookie.

What can I sub for the flour in this recipe

If you are trying to avoid the wheat in the flour, have you tried using oat flour in this recipe? I also wonder how rice flour would do.
