Five-Star Cookies Recipe
- 2 tablespoons hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pitted dried dates, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup barley flakes
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 tablespoons apple juice
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the chopped hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, apricots, and dates together in a bowl. Add the sugar, barley flakes, flour, and baking soda, and stir to combine.
- Mix together the canola oil and apple juice, and pour over the dry mixture. Stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
- Drop the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Using the back of a fork dipped in flour, gently flatten each ball and neaten the edges with your fingers.
- Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool. These can be kept in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
