    • Candied Fruits: 50 grams, chopped
    • Egg White: 1, from a large egg
    • Honey: 10 grams

    Now, let’s get started with the baking process!

    Preparing Your Oven

    First things first, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to ensure it’s nice and toasty for baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

    Mixing the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dried apricots, walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, dried cherries, and candied fruits. Give them a good toss until they’re evenly mixed.

    Binding the Mixture

    In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg white until it becomes frothy. Then, add the honey and whisk again until everything is well combined. Pour this sweet mixture over your dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir everything together until the dry ingredients are nicely coated and start sticking together.

    Shaping the Cookies

    Now comes the fun part – shaping the cookies! Take small portions of the mixture and mold them into cookie shapes. You can use a spoon or your hands for this step. Place each cookie on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between them.

    Baking

    Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden color and feel firm to the touch.

    Cooling and Enjoying

    Once your cookies are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now, it’s time to indulge in these scrumptious treats guilt-free!
