Soya flour, an excellent source of iron, calcium and B-vitamins and naturally gluten-free, comes from either roasted or unroasted soybeans that have been ground into a fine powder. Not only will It give homebaked goods a protein boost, but it also adds a nutty and exceptional flavour. If you are interested in using soya flour, more information can be found here.
Soya and Almond Cookies

- Rinse and drain soya beans. Spread soya beans in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 150C/300F until lightly golden and aromatic, about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the beans to a grain mill or a coffee blender. Blend until it reaches the fine consistency of flour. Sift and measure the bean powder.
- Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 165C/330F. Whisk together the ground almonds, sifted soya flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and light brown sugar until light and well blended. Add in eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Stir in flour mixture until combined.
- Shape cookie dough into 1-inch balls and coat with chopped almond if using. Place them on the prepared sheets. Bake 15-20 minutes. Remove and cool on racks. It makes approximately 40 cookies.

You always find the neatest stuff, soya flour, huh. Now I have something else I will be on the lookout for. I finally found the spelt, now I will be looking for the soya like a mad woman. Hope all is well with you my dear. So glad I'm able to come and look at your yummy stuff again.

so interesting to see you making your own soya flour, that's a beautiful grinder! so are the cookies!!
That is a new flour for me, sounds wonderful! And these cookies look incredible!
Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe. ((hugs)) Have yet tried anything with soy powder. I think I should. You think the commercial soy powder is workable. Probably just toast it over a non-stick pan, will do! hehe...
