How to make crunchy amaranth cookies without eggs and butter?

Article featuring Ola from @bajzel_na_talerzu
I invite you to use a simple, vegan recipe for delicious COOKIES with amaranth. They can be baked in the form of bagels, muffins, or simply in a loaf pan. In structure and taste, they resemble brownies – light, but quite dense. As an addition to these delicacies, I used homemade cherry KISIEL (fruit jelly), for which I inherited a sentiment from my mother. It shines beautifully and tastes like the most wonderful summer. Try this recipe using any of your favorite fruits or fruit juices. Since I first tried the homemade version of kisiel, I haven't reached for a store-bought one. It is not only a wonderful and quick dessert but also an ideal addition to cakes and cookies, e.g., as a topping. It gently sets on top, creating a perfect, sweet structure.
