BIG breakfast cookie!

I made this for my husband who is not ready to face the day on "just juice". Its Elaina Love's thumbprint cookie that I have just made HUGE and filled with apricot jam & dehydrated - yum!

Recipe below on post #8.

EPPP, now that does look good. Thanks for sharing.

Mmmm! That looks so yummy mmm...

that certainly looks delicious, how clever to make big cookie, looks like a beautiful apricot torte, yummy.

Great idea to make a big cookie and it is so pretty in presentation too! So how did you make the apricot jam? In my old days of cooked foods I made apricot freezer jam each summer but that won't work now!

I actually found left over apricots I had frozen from the summer and just added honey ond wizzed in the VM, That's all! :)

The cookie is a hazelnut - almond base with dates

eachpeachpearplum,

What a great looking cookie. Would also love to make some of these. Apricots have always had a special place with me. Is this from her Carob-Cherry Thumbprint Cookie recipe or another title?

Thanks! :p
The cookie recipe is from Elaina Love's DVD Pure Joy Living Foods, Introduction to Living Foods Vol 1. The recipe is just called Thumbprint cookies and are filled with a raspberry jam.

www.purejoylivingfoods.com

I always triple the recipe too;

1 c. SOAKED almonds (starting with 1/2c. unsoaked)
1 c. SOAKED hazelnuts (starting with 1/2c. unsoaked)
1/4 flax meal
1/2 dates
1.5 t.citrus zest
1.5 t. vanilla extract

I like to grind up nuts first then add everything else. Worked best in food processor vs VM.

Fruit filling; (BTW make a great all round jam - so again make loads)

1 c. berries or any fruit (I have been using frozen mixed berries) or soakes apricots etc.
1/4 c. dates
puree till smooth - I have had best luck using food processor for entire recipe.
Put a BIG glob of jam on cookie as is shrinks. Dehydrate to desired firmness.

Dough lasts forever in fridge thats why I triple it.

Those in the picture I first rolled in coconut!

wow as ever scrumptious piccies yummy yum :) :) :)

thank you for the lovely recipes.

best wishes

Thanks you posting the recipe!

eachpearplum - when you say :
"1 cup soaked nuts (1/2 unsoaked)", do you mean to use 1 cup of soaked almonds and another 1/2 cup of unsoaked nuts?

Thanks for the recipe! It looks fantastic!

Good Lord, I wish I were your husband !!!!!!!!! :D

the title of this thread made me DROOL on myself :p

Sorry, I actually wrote it as the author did but I undwerstand it's confusing. Put HALF a cup nuts to soak and when they are done they will have increased in volume to ONE cup! :p

I hope tha helps :)
