Homemade Cassava Chocolate Chip Cookies | Gluten-Free and Vegan Recipe
My studio kitchen is filled with so much laughter and EATing. Behind all my recipes I have quite a large team of professionals. Talented humans that are the reason I am in the position I am today.
One team member, in particular, is Lasmini. A beautiful talented woman in her own right that originally was a cleaner for one of my mates. When we first met she only spoke a few words of English - hello, goodbye, good morning and good night. I could sense there was something special about her so as I do, I invested in getting to know her as she cleaned my mate's house. I would always say “How's it going” and she would reply “ya, good”. I remember when I was at the house I would do something silly and I could see her in the corner of my eye laughing, I would always smile back.
She then lost her job and I hired her as a cleaner. Still no English, we managed to get to know each other through our energy. She knew when I say sad, happy, scared or excited. She was always there to celebrate with me and we found a common ground on how to communicate with each other. It was sharing a meal. We would cook together and then sit on the floor and eat with our hands, try to tell stories about all of the things and try to understand each other. She wanted me to speak English to her and I wanted her to speak her language to me…it didn't work, I was useless at remembering the words, but she wasn't she was smart and caught on very quickly.
A year had passed and I got to know her well, she had goals and cleaning was not one of them. She would always say to me “I am just a cleaner” And I would say what else do u want to do, she would respond with “ what can I do”? From there I was like let me train you on how I cook. Time passed and one day she came home and said to me she was pregnant, excited but concerned that she would have no job after the baby is born and she was at a loss for what to do. I remember saying - Why won't you have a job, she said in my experience boss don't take on pregnant people and they sure as hell don't bring them back after the baby is born. I said to her, you have your baby, I will support you through that process and when your ready come back to work and bring your baby with you we will make a bed so she can sleep. Lasmini cried, we hugged and time went on. She had her first child Hiena, and came back to work months later with the baby. And I remember saying no more cleaning, let's work on other things together, so we did. She has been by my side through heart breaks heart surgery, failures, success and all the parts that make up US! Together we are most certainly better. 3 babies later and my dear friend Lasmini is no longer a cleaner. I have helped build a business that consists of slow-pressed juices for retreats, healthy cooking productions for other westerners that come to Bali, and a fermenting business and now she is my full-time Bali PA slash product developer and all round great mate. And by far the best cookie maker I have ever met.’
Investing in people and listing to their stories is what I love to do most of all. I learn things that make me a better person. So lets all welcome Lasmini to KZbin, please watch the vid, and comment and I am sure this will make her day if not her year!!

Lasmini I LOVED this video. It is filled with joy and love. Thank you for sharing your presence and cookies!

[@leslieswitzer8072]

I made them and wondered what the finished cookie should be like? Crispy? Soft?

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

Lasmini is happy to know you liked her recipe! x The longer cook more crunchy

[@MichaelFinch]

[@petahughes-tagicaki2526]

Yum Lasmini, your cookies look so delicious. Ordering cassava flour now to try them. 🤩

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

They are!! I hope you love it too! ❤️

[@insighttopsych]

I made the cookies right after watching you guys make them. I used Chickpea flour though as it was all I had. The cookies were very crumbly. Maybe after they cool they will hold together better. Great flavor.

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

Hey Ed Ruben well done! 👏

[@karentodd3263]

Can you replace the oil with water?

[@clairebaxter1361]

Being in US I converted the ml and cooking temp but 266 degrees??

[@MichaelFinch]

Lasmi in more videos pls xx we love her

[@antoniasattler6726]

An alterative to the oats?

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

You can leave them out but I haven't tried it without oats. Let me know how you go xx

[@karentodd3263]

Can you use all water rather than the oils? 130 degrees C seems like a low oven temperature for cookies?

[@terrib4347]

I thought it was low too, but they bake a longer time than usual for cookies

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

No if you use just water it will be dry

[@Jess-wp5in]

Looks delicious! Going to try this with eggs, don’t regularly use flax/have any on hand. Do you think I could sub coconut oil for avo oil and coconut sugar for monkfruit?

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

Hey Jess, yes sure you can use avo oil. I haven't tried using monkfruit. Try it, and let me know how you go x

[@pennyforyourthoughtscounse5281]

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

WOW! Glad you finally found me ❤️I hope you'll give my recipes here a go x

[@terrib4347]

Just made these.... very tasty. I used cacao butter, melted, along with coconut oil. They are a bit fragile but I put them outside as it's 40º f outside. I make cassava flour tortillas so this is the first time using cassava in a sweet treat, will def make again!

[@ChefCynthiaLouise]

Oh wow! Well done, Terri 👏 I hope to see your creation in our Facebook group so I can show it to Lasmini xx
