Ingredients

  • 80 grams dried apricots -soaked in hot water (this was 11 dried apricots for me)
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/3 cup almonds, chopped
  • 3/4 cup peanuts, salted or unsalted depending on preference
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flax
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 egg white
  • 1-2 tbsp honey I did 1 tbps, but would add a bit more next time as these are not very sweet if you don't add the chocolate coating

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Start by soaking the apricots in hot water while you get all of the other nuts and seeds prepared.

  2. Add walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia, and flax to a medium bowl.

  3. Drain apricots and chop into small pieces. Add to your nut and seed mixture.

  4. Add one egg white and honey to the nut, seed and apricot mixture, and stir until well combined.

  5. Place some parchment paper on a cookie sheet and choose a cookie cutter. I chose the heart for Valentine's day!

  6. Spoon your mixture into the cookie cutter, and press mixture down until flattened. Slowly lift the cookie cutter up and repeat.

  7. Bake in a 350F overn for 15 minutes, or until nicely browned on top. Allow to cool completely before attempting to move them.

Chocolate Coating

  1. Melt chocolate on a plate. Once cookies are completely cooled, dunk the bottom of the cookie into the chocolate. Turn cookie upside down on your rack or tray and allow chocolate to harden.

  2. Store in airtight container in the fridge.
