Sun Cookies!

These cookies have a lovely buttery flavour and can be dried to be chewy or soft.






1 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup hazlenuts
1/3 cup oat groats
1/3 cup coconut, dried
1 cup dates
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup flaxseed, ground

Grind all the seeds, nuts and oats together and the place in a bowl. Stir in the cinnamon and add a pinch of sea salt if you like.
Blend the dates with 1/2 cup water into a puree (use warm water and let the dates sit in the water for a few minutes before blending if they are very firm dates)
Add this paste to the nut,seed and oat mixture and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes in the fridge to firm up a little. Take small amounts in your hand and roll into golf-sized balls. Place on a teflex sheet and use a fork to flatten them into cookies at the desired thickness. Dry at 105 flipping over halfway until completely at the texture you like. These are ideal cookies for making sandwiches with some apricot puree in the middle and you could drizzle with chocolate on top. Enjoy!
