Bangin' Paleo Walnut and Apricot Cookies

Why are they bangin'?  Because this recipe takes the cake as my favorite so far (no pun intended)!  They have a traditional cookie texture and all the sweetness of sugar, but with honey instead.  Omigod y'all, these thangs ain't playin' around.  Try them out with different types of dried fruit... I bet they'd be awesome with cranberries.

(Makes 2 dozen cookies)
1 cup honey, warmed in a saucer on the stove
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup almond flour
1 cup coconut flour
¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp coconut oil
1 egg
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Blend flours with the pumpkin pie spice.  Then, whisk the egg in a separate bowl, and add only half the egg at a time to the flour mixture, blending evenly with a fork.  You’ll get a crumbly texture, but avoid large chunks toward the bottom, you want it all the same consistency.  Then, add one tsp at a time of warmed up coconut oil, blending it all together.  Next mix in your walnuts and chopped fruit.  Lastly, add your warm honey, and blend til you get a sticky dough.  At this point you can either flower a cutting board, roll out the dough into ½ in thickness and cut square cookies, or form them into discs by hand.  Bake on a cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.  Enjoy!

Hasta luego,
