Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups raw sliced almonds Offers crunch and healthy fats; feel free to substitute with chopped pecans or walnuts for a different texture.
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds Packs nutritional value and adds a delightful crunch; can be swapped with sunflower seeds if desired.
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes Brings a chewy texture and natural sweetness; you can omit or add more nuts for a coconut-free version.
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup Acts as a sweetener and binder; honey will hold ingredients better than maple syrup.
For Structure
  • 1 large egg Enhances moisture and structure; to make these cookies vegan, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
For Flavor
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Amplifies flavor; no alternatives are needed here.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt Balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor; use to taste for your perfect cookie.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crunchy Almond Seed Chocolate Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw sliced almonds, raw pumpkin seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, honey or maple syrup, large egg, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Scoop portions of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each mound. Flatten each ball to create an even surface.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes to firm up before removing.
  6. For an indulgent twist, melt some dark chocolate and dip the backs of the cookies, then sprinkle with sea salt.
