Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
Add water and 2 tbsp ground flax to a medium bowl. Set aside for 5-10 minutes
1/2 cup water, 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
Place apricots and dates in a bowl of hot water. Allow to soften until they are soft enough for your food processor to be able to handle them. (If your food processor is heavy duty enough to process hard fruits, you can skip this step.)
1/2 cup dried apricots, 1/2 cup dates
Place apricots and dates in a food processor. Process until they form a paste-like consistency with small bits remaining. Make sure there are no pieces big enough for your baby to choke on. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add dry ingredients and stir until combined. Set aside.
Add wet ingredients to flax and water mixture, stir to combine.
1/4 cup avocado oil**, 1/4 cup milk***, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients until fully combined.
Add processed date and apricot mixture to bowl and stir until spread evenly throughout dough. You may have to use a little bit of muscle here!
Spoon heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
Allow to cool on wire rack before serving. Cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to one month. Store at room temperatire for 2-3 days. For the best defrosted taste, heat in an oven or toaster oven at 350 F until thawed.
Notes
* Quick oats or old fashioned rolled oats are fine** Any flavorless oil will work here*** A non-dairy milk will work fine
