minutesMy son in law asked me to make something healthy….so this is the closest I could find to healthy. Individually the ingredients have nutritional value and who can go wrong when it is dipped in dark chocolate!
Ingredients
1/2 cup sliced almonds or whole almonds roughly chopped
1/2 cup roughly chopped cashews
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt (or kosher salt)
Dark chocolate for dipping
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Scoop mixture onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. I used the melon size ice cream scoop which made a nice size. Or you can use 2 tablespoons to do the same.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, edges will start turning a golden brown.
- After cookies have cooled, melt dipping chocolate in a bowl and dip either the bottom half of the cookie or the whole cookie in the dipping chocolate and place back on the parchment paper to cool and harden.
- Makes about a 16 smaller cookies.
