Moist squidgy creamy Apricot and toasted Hazelnut Cookies with blackstrap molasses, muscovado sugar, almonds, millet and oats.
Lounge with a nice cuppa. And, relish.
This dish will eliminate any belief that vegan food can’t be super yummy.
Make this:
- When the kiddies are being boisterous and getting them excited in joining in the fun of making cookie dough will have them yapping as they bite into these little treats
- When you’ve got the old biddies over for afternoon tea and a natter and some cookies that’ll have them spilling the beans is much needed
- When you fancy having a lazy brekkie treat before you have a thousand and one errands to start your day
Apricot and Hazelnut Cookies was inspired when playing around in the kitchen with friends visiting from afar and creating a little treat for a picnic and busy day ahead with activities.
I even made a dinky present – ideal for someone you may be dating! Apricots are an excellent source of Vitamin A and carotene.
Apricot and Hazelnut Cookies are vegan and gluten-free.

Going strong since 2013.
