Preparation time: 20 minutes
Dehydration time: 3-4 hours
Total time: 4 hours 20 minutes
Number of servings: 12 cookies

Your basic ingredients

For the sea buckthorn cookies:
- 50 g coconut flour (obtained by grinding coconut flakes)
- 50 g white almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon psyllium powder
- 1 teaspoon sea buckthorn powder
- Honey, to taste
- A few drops of vanilla extract

For the almond stars:
- 100 g ground almonds (with skin)
- 50 g flaxseed flour (has a slight nutty taste)
- 1 teaspoon carob powder
- Honey, to taste

Step by step: Cooking the perfect cookies

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the coconut flour, almonds, and flaxseed are finely ground for a smooth texture. If you don't have coconut flour, you can use coconut flakes, but you will need to grind them yourself.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In two separate bowls, add the ingredients for each type of cookie. In the first bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, psyllium powder, sea buckthorn powder, honey, and vanilla extract. In the second bowl, mix the ground almonds, flaxseed flour, carob powder, and honey.

3. Forming the dough balls: After mixing the ingredients well, form balls from the dough. They should not be large, just the size of a walnut. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for about 1 hour. This step is essential to ensure easy cookie formation.

4. Rolling out the dough: Once the dough has chilled, prepare a work surface that you will lightly grease with palm oil. Use a rolling pin to roll out each type of dough into a thin sheet. The sea buckthorn cookies can be cut into square shapes, while the almond stars can be cut into star shapes.

5. Dehydrating the cookies: Place the cookies on the dehydrator trays and let them dry for 3-4 hours. It is important to check them periodically; the cookies are ready when they are dry on the surface but remain slightly soft inside. This texture makes them more enjoyable to chew and more nutritious.

6. Serving the cookies: Once the cookies are ready, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. I recommend enjoying them with a glass of milk or a plant-based drink, such as almond or coconut milk. This combination will add extra flavor and turn breakfast into a true feast.
