Vegan Walnut Cinnamon Pinwheel Cookies

These vegan walnut cookies were very good and crunchy. The whole family liked them. They are wonderful with tea or coffee, but the big plus is that they are simple and quick to make.

You'll see that all the ingredients are accessible. You can use any nuts or hazelnuts you have at hand, and the cinnamon is optional. I personally liked them with cinnamon, but it covers the nutty flavor, so I made two versions and both were delicious.

Then start kneading with your hands. Turn the dough out onto the table and knead until it becomes smooth, soft and not at all sticky. Cut into two pieces and shape them into balls. Allow 15 minutes to rest, covered with a towel.

In the meantime, grind 200 g of walnuts and combine with 6 tablespoons of sugar. I combined 100 g of walnuts only with sugar and the other 100 g, with sugar and one tablespoon of cinnamon.

Both options are good, it's up to your taste.
