Ingredients
- Cookie
- 1 cup almonds meal
- 1 cup dried coconut
- 1/2 cup dried organic apricots
- 1 tbs honey, agave or maple syrup for vegan
- Pinch vanilla powder or paste
- Filling
- 1 cup dried organic apricots
- 1 scoop pea protein powder or similar
- 1 tbs honey, agave or maple syrup for vegan
Preparation
Step 1
Add all of the cookie ingredients except the sweetener to a
high speed blender or food processor and blend until fine then add the honey and
blend until it starts to form a ball. Turn onto a board or teflex sheet and knead
until you have a nice thick dough that can be rolled out to about ½ cm
thickness then press out 10 cookies and put them on a plate and freeze while
you make the filling. You will want them to be firm as the filling is also
quite firm and you want the cookies to retain their shape when you put the
filling it and have to press them together
Add all ingredients to the same blender or food processor
and blend until it forms a smooth thick dough. This is a very thick mix so be
careful with your appliance, make sure you turn it to maximum speed as this is
the best way to avoid overheating the motor. Do this as quickly as you can so
that you don’t have to work it too hard.
Take the dough out of the machine and shape into 5 balls
about 2 ½ cm in diameter. You may have some left over. You can just roll it
into small balls and eat as is. Place a ball on one of the firm cookies then
place another cookie on top of the ball then gently press them together until
the filling reaches the edge of the cookies. Repeat with the remaining cookies
and filling.
