Healthy cookies without flour and sugar

Prep Time: 15 minutes

 Bake Time: 15–18 minutes

 Makes: 14–18 cookies

Ingredients

• 70 g dried apricots

• 50 g walnuts

• 70 g hazelnuts

• 60 g almonds

• 20 g pine nuts

• 30 g pumpkin seeds

• 40 g sunflower seeds

• 20 g sesame seeds

• 20 g flaxseeds

• 40 ml natural honey

• 1 egg white

• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Soften apricots: soak in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain well.

3. Chop nuts & seeds: pulse walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and pine nuts in a food processor until coarse (do not make flour).

4. Finely chop the dried apricots.

5. Transfer everything to a bowl. Add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, and salt.

6. Add honey and egg white. Mix well until the mixture sticks together.

7. Shape cookies: form small balls or flatten slightly into cookie shapes.

8. Place on tray and bake for 15–18 minutes, until lightly golden.

9. Cool completely — they firm up as they cool.

Tips:

• Add orange zest or cinnamon for classic Mediterranean aroma

• Drizzle melted dark chocolate (85%) on top (optional)

• For vegan version: replace egg white with 1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water
