Lemon Chia Seed Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches

• FOR THE COOKIES:
• 1 cup Brown Rice Flour
• 1/2 cups Rolled Oats
• 1/4 cups Chopped Almonds
• 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1 whole Egg
• 1/4 cups Coconut Sugar
• 1/4 cups Coconut Oil, Melted And Cooled
• 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
• 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
• 1/4 cups 2% Greek Yogurt
• 2 Tablespoons Pure Honey

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk wet ingredientse. Pour wet into dry and stir until incorporated. Refrigerate mixture for 30-60 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Scoop tablespoon-size portions of the dough and roll into balls. Lightly flatten each ball to make it about 1/2 inch tall and distribute over the parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
5. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and just firm when touched. Remove from oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.
6. In the meantime, prepare Greek yogurt-cream cheese filling by whipping Greek yogurt and cream cheese in a hand mixer or stand mixer (whichever you have), slowly adding honey while mixing. Whip for about 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. You can add more honey to sweeten more if you prefer.
7. When ready to assemble, place some filling on the flat side of a cookie. Sandwich with another cookie, flat side facing the filling as well. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
8. Notes:
9. I tried making the cookies vegan by replacing the egg with 2 flax eggs, but they came out too crumbly. If you must make them vegan, I recommend using whole wheat or white flour instead of the brown rice, so that the gluten acts as a stronger binding agent in addition to the flax eggs.
10. Chia seeds can be replaced for poppy seeds if you prefer.
