Apricot Cookies | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 18 COOKIES

These golden, chewy, slightly sweet cookies are just as easy to prepare as they are to eat! Packed with vitamins A and C from the apricots and protein and iron from the walnuts and coconut, these cookies are like snack-size energy bars.

Directions

Combine all ingredients (set aside ⅓ cup coconut) in a food processor and process until very well chopped.

Using clean hands, roll the mixture into walnut-size balls and then into the extra coconut.

Flatten into cookie rounds using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, and then gently shape with hands to create even patties.

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
