Dried Fruits:
- 70 grams (2.5 ounces) dried apricots
Binding and Seasoning:
- 40 milliliters (1.4 fluid ounces) natural honey
- 1 egg white
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Immerse dried apricots in chilled water for 15-20 minutes to enhance their pliability and soften their texture.
- Systematically chop walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and pine nuts into uniform small pieces. Combine them in a mixing bowl with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and flaxseed.
- Thoroughly drain apricots and mince them into fine, consistent fragments. Integrate chopped apricots into the nut and seed blend.
- Drizzle honey into the mixture, crack an egg white, and sprinkle a delicate pinch of salt. Gently fold all ingredients until well incorporated.
- Position parchment paper on a baking sheet, creating a non-stick surface for cookie formation.
- Carefully mold the nutty mixture into uniform circular shapes, placing each cookie with precise spacing on the prepared sheet.
- Adjust oven temperature to 180°C (360°F), ensuring even heat distribution.
- Position cookie sheet in preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring until edges turn golden brown and surfaces develop a light, crisp appearance.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, enabling them to firm and develop optimal texture.
Notes
- Soak dried apricots thoroughly to enhance their softness and blend seamlessly with other ingredients.
- Toast nuts and seeds beforehand to intensify their natural flavors and create a richer, more complex taste profile.
- Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness level, using alternative natural sweeteners like maple syrup for different dietary preferences.
- Ensure even cookie sizing by using a small ice cream scoop or measuring spoon for consistent baking and uniform texture.
