Ingredients

  • Dry Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup flax seed meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 eggs (or equivalent egg sub. for vegan cookies)
  • Mix In
  • 1 cup dried apricot (cut into smaller chunks)
  • 1/2 cup oats

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients.
  • Blend wet ingredients until as close to smooth as possible.
  • Mix dry ingredients with the wet mixture until fully incorporated. The batter will be thick and sticky, so it would probably be easiest to do this with a fork or mixing spoon.
  • Stir in the oats and apricots.
  • Form into balls and flatten onto parchment paper. Again, this is easier to do with wet hands.
  • Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops look golden (don't wait for them to brown or they will be too hard when they cool).
  • To store (and for transportation purposes), I like to wrap each cookie in plastic wrap. Voila! Bakery-style!
