I looooove cookies and the crunchier the better. I have to say that cookies in Italy are usually always crunchy. The Italian name for cookies is biscotti after all, and that means “cooked twice”.
These Low Fodmap Buckwheat Peanut Butter Cookies are just as crunchy as I like them. The only thing is they are not very sweet, which is not a problem for me because I don’t usually like very sweet sweets.
This recipe calls for macadamia oil, which has a nice nutty flavour, but if you cannot find it, feel free to substitute it with vegetable oil.
These cookies are also dairy free and delicious, perfect with a glass of your favourite (dairy-free) milk. Remember to check out my video recipe and to leave a comment to let me know how you like them!

I made these yesterday and my whole family is enjoying them. I did slightly adjust the recipe by replacing mac nut oil with melted coconut oil and I used an extra 2 TBS maple syrup and eliminated the brown sugar. Definitely not a sweet cookie, but for me, perfect!
I am also Italian (family from Abruzzo) and would love to see your version of low Fodmap italian dishes.
I am enjoying reading through your recipes. Thanks

It was like trying to mold damp sand. Very difficult to handle. It crumbles all over the place. Made recipe exactly as stated. No substitutions. Tastes good though.
