Cabernet Cookies
I'm still on my grape seed flour kick and made these yummy Cabernet Cookies the other day which were "all gone" quite quickly. If you like the combination of red wine and chocolate, be sure to give these treats a try.
Grape seed flour is full of antioxidants, fiber and protein and adds a nice flavor and texture to baked goods. I'm loving experimenting with it these days. One more super food to add to the repertoire.
1 ¼ cups blanched almond flour
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup grapeseed oil
¼ cup agave nectar
¼ cup Cabernet Sauvignon Grape Seed Flour
¼ cup dark chocolate chips 73% cacao
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl
- Stir together wet ingredients in a smaller bowl
- Mix wet ingredients into dry
- Form ½ inch balls and press onto a parchment lined baking sheet
- Bake at 350° for 7-10 minutes
- Cool and serve

Very interesting. I am pondering ordering some hard-to-find flours. I may have to seriously consider this one.
Wondering if we can sub the grapeseed flour with something else? as it is really hard to find and expensive to ship here to Canada
I just read there is a winery in Ontario that has been making grape seed flour..
I searched on line and there it was.. You can order on line. Have a search and good luck.
I used altavista.com search engine if that helps..
I made these this morning and they were the first truly successful completely yummy cookies I've made in 4 years. The extra flour works really well for the lumpy look.
Thanks for this recipe. Keep posting!
Oh, I definitely want to try these! I've had Cabernet sorbet and loved it + I'm obsessed with dark chocolate, so these look PERFECT. Thank you!
these look wonderful. do the antioxidants survive the baking process? thx
So interesting! I love a glass of cabernet with a piece of dark chocolate. Of course, the other day I saw a bottle of chocolate cabernet wine - like chocolate flavored wine, I guess? Not appetizing. In contrast, these babies sound delish!
Grapes are sprayed with many different herbicides and pesticides. I don't think I would buy grapeseed flour unless it is made from organically grown seeds.
My grapeseed flour arrived over the weekend. I'm using it to make tiramisu tonight. I'm also very excited to try grapeskin flour, which should arrive later this week!
Hi there!
I emailed ApresVin, and they sent me a very special delivery of their Merlot and Riesling Grapeseed Flours! I'd never heard of such a thing until I found your blog, so thank you. I made Merlot Grapeseed Flour Graham Crackers, and they are incredible!
I posted them on my blog too.
Hey Elana,
I learned about Grapeseed Flour on your blog, Apres Vin sent me some samples, and I love it. Most recently I made Riesling Flour Shortbread. Check it out on my blog: http://sweetpotatosoul.blogspot.com/2010/04/april-14-2010.html
ALL THE BEST!
