A low sugar, subtle little cookie with added health benefits: sesame, coconut, sunflower seeds and oats make this treat good for you! The recipe for this cookie developed from an idea for coconut halvah which became a need for a tea time treat. Now it's a favourite. The preparation time does not include chilling times. Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh coconut, grated |
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, raw and ground |
1/4 cup tahini |
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted |
1/4 cup honey |
1/2 cup rolled oats |
1/4 cup whole wheat flour |
1 egg |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Mix together coconut, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, oats and salt.
2. Add tahini, honey and egg.
3. Mix in flour to form a firm dough, adding more flour if needed.
4. Roll into a sausage shape, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
5. Place in fridge for 30 minutes, or place in freezer for 10 minutes.
6. Cut in thin slices (just less than a half inch) and place on baking tray.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until lightly browned.
8. Cool on wire tray.
