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.

I was thrilled to find that Alltop, an RSS aggregator, recently added elanaspantry.com to both their food and recipe pages. Head on over and take a look at Alltop for some other fun bloggers you can follow. And I was super psyched to see that the author of one of my favorite sites, Small Notebook decided that The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook is her absolute favorite cookbook. Way cool!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

these look wonderful. do the antioxidants survive the baking process? thx
Hannah says
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!

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!

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
Wendy says
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..

Hi,
I live in Toronto. Here are 2 sources for grape skin powder:
http://www.viniferaforlife.com/ (This one is certified kosher)
http://www.bioflavia.ca/ (This one isn’t kosher. It is, however, organic.)
Hannah Handpainted says
Very interesting. I am pondering ordering some hard-to-find flours. I may have to seriously consider this one.
