Monthly Meal Idea: Fruit and Nut Cookies

 

100g (4oz) mixed dried fruit eg sultanas, apricots (organic where possible and without mineral oil or sulphur dioxide)

200g (7oz) mixed nuts eg almonds, cashews, hazelnuts

1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

2 tbsp approx. of sunflower seeds

75g (3oz) desiccated coconut

6 tbsp of liquid (e.g. organic apple juice, soya milk or rice milk)

 

 

Put the dried fruit, nuts, coconut and pumpkin seeds into a food processor.  Pulse until finely chopped and then add the liquid slowly until it makes a softish dough.  Heap teaspoons of the doug onto a greased baking tray and press down to make a round (5cm, 2ins).  Push some sunflower seeds into each cookie.  Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4 for about 15 minutes.  Cool before eating.
