Caveman Cookies

So I needed another go to snack to make ahead and take on the go, and this was it.  You can get so creative with these with all sorts of dried fruit varieties and flavors.  Try adding dates, changing to macadamia nuts, adding sunflower seeds, etc and let me know what you come up with.

Servings: 12

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Roasted Almonds
  • 1/2 Cup dried blueberries
  • 1/2 Cup dried apricots
  • 1/2 Cup shredded coconut
  • 1 Tbsp EVOO

Process:

  1. First thing you need to do is roast your almonds so preheat your oven to 350 Degrees
  2. Next spread out all your almonds on a baking sheet
  3. Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, for your taste test they should taste roasted but not burnt
  4. Leave the oven at 350 degrees
  5. Place your roasted almonds, blueberries, apricots, and shredded coconut in a food processor and continually pulse until all of it is minced
  6. Turn your food processor on low and let it run while you slow drizzle in your EVOO
  7. Transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl and mix well with the 2 eggs
  8. Using your hands, form thin patties or long bars or whatever shapes you want, just keep them about 1/4 inch thick
  9. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or nonstick baking sheet
  10. Bake for 20 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack so they don’t continue to cook
  11. Enjoy

    Can these be baked in a bar pan and cut into bars? Do they store well? Thinking of making for shipment overseas.

      They sure can, and they do store well in airtight containers
