A quick note about the ingredients: I used raw buckwheat, but ideally you’ll want to use activated buckwheat for best digestibility. You can buy activated buckwheat, or you can activate it yourself by soaking overnight and then dehydrating. The dehydrating is optional, but as I used dry buckwheat in this recipe, I don’t know if using soaked buckwheat would make for soggy cookies!
