apricot thumbprint cookies
makes 2 dozen
very much like the baked version!
Ingredients
- for jam
- 1 cup dried apricots
- ½ cup medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup water
- for cookies
- ½ cup macadamia nuts, i used unsoaked
- 1 cup dried shredded coconut, i make my own,store bought sometimes tastes "soapy"
- 1 cup buckwheaties, groats that have been soaked,sprouted and dehydrated,left whole
- ¼ cup agave
- 1 dash cinnamon
- 1 inch vanilla bean, seeds only
- extra coconut or chopped nuts for rolling cookies in
Preparation
soak apricots and dates in water about 1 hour or till soft.using small processor bowl or bullet,process till smooth.in large processor bowl,pulse macadamia nuts,coconut,spices,and buckwheat,about 12 times till ground.add 1/2 cup jam(reserve the rest) and agave until dough forms.roll into 1”balls,roll balls in coconut or chopped nuts.place onto parchment on mesh dehydrator sheets.flatten slightly and make a indentation in each center.fill with reserved apricot jam.(overfill since jam will shrink,smooth with wet finger if you don’t want those “tips” i got!)dehydrate at 115 degrees approx 12 hours or as desired.note: any fruit(omit water if using fresh fruit) and nut combo may be used in this. my goji jam would work too…. quick directions for buckwheat:soak groats 20 min to 1 hour,drain and rinse,place in jar or sprout bag,rinse/drain every 4-8 hours for 1 day, (they should have a tiny tail),dehydrate 115 degrees for 8 hours.may be ground for flour.check out sproutpeople for more details on sprouting:)
