Today I'd like to share a recipe from Sheryl, one of my newsletter subscribers, who learned it from a friend.
This excellent recipe for a healthy raw cookie was first published in February of 2005 in my Amazing Cookies newsletter, so it's a classic:
Apricot Pecan Cookies
2 1/2 cups chopped dried apricots
4 cups muesli
2 cups coarsely chopped raw pecans
3/4 cup honey
1 Tbs vanilla
1 3/4 cup raw organic almond butter
1/2 cup chopped dates
Dash of salt (optional)
Stir all ingredients together. Shape into flat round cookies about 1/2 inch think. Makes 4 dozen cookies. Refrigerate or freeze these cookies immediately. You can vary the dried fruit to change flavor.
Hint from Sheryl
Rinse hands often and keep them moist while forming the cookies. The dough won't stick as much.
Comment from Chet
Yes, you'll have to get your hands messy to make this recipe, but, believe me, the results are worth it. You're not going to find a healthy cookie like this at your local supermarket!

The cookies sound like they'd have a nice texture b/c of the almond butter. I like the nutty apricot flavor combo.
