- 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix well.
Combine wet and dry until just mixed.
Then fold in:
- 2/3 c pepitas
With wet hands, form into 2 logs on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 20-25min - should spring back to touch.
Remove and wait about 10min. Slice into 2-3cm (3/4-1") cookies.
Place flat on cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 20-30min - till crisp. (Flip cookies half way through baking.)
You can also bake cookies on a cooling rack for 10-20min - till crisp.
When cool, store in a covered container. Will keep for weeks. Lovely with espresso or tea, great for dipping or crunching.
A delicious not-too-sweet twice baked cookie.
