It is very easy to have rancid flours or quinoa. I think that is more likely the culprit from your description.
I am now making these for the 3rd time… I loved them… and even my chocoholic husband was fooled by color to think they were a chocolate spice cookie… roflol. I was shocked at how much ginger to use. 2nd time at my sisters they were not quite as good- I believe because of old ginger. They are so easy to make! I used a coffee scoop to make them, and got 16 on my 11"x11" pan for the toaster oven. I used a silicone sheet in the tray & the recipe made 32 cookies. Question- could they be frozen before baked?? I guess I will have to try it… Great plant based recipe!!
I’m sorry but these tasted terrible. I think the ratio of spices must be off. The batter itself came together fine, and the cookies had a decent texture, but they tasted so bitterly spiced that I had to throw the entire batch in the garbage. You would never have known apples or quinoa were even ingredients in this recipe. :(
