Apricot and pistachio cookies

These apricot and pistachio cookies combine the natural sweetness of dried apricots with the nutty crunch of pistachios, resulting in a delightful treat that's both tasty and nutritious. The addition of chia seeds, oats, and sunflower seeds add extra fiber and crunch, making these cookies a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 egg
50g
1 cup oats
90g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
30g
1 tbsp chia seeds
16g
2 tbsp cinnamon
30g
2 tbsp dried apricots
30g
2 tbsp pistachio nuts
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and the egg until well combined and smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the oats, self-raising flour, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and a dough forms.
5. Add Apricots and Pistachios: Fold the chopped dried apricots and chopped pistachio nuts into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon.
7. Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once cool, serve your delicious apricot and pistachio cookies with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing with other ingredients.

- Chop the dried apricots and pistachios into small pieces for even distribution in the dough.

- Do not overmix the dough once the flour has been added to avoid tough cookies.

- For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the pistachio nuts before adding them to the dough.

- Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly.

- Bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these apricot and pistachio cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for a perfect snack. They are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that make them a healthier choice for a sweet treat. Happy baking!
