Square lemon pistachio cookies

We love healthy cookies! Especially these by Annegeke! We love her and her delicious recipes! <3

Ingredients for 9 squares:

• 1 cup of almonds
• 1/2 a cup of oats
• 3tbsps melted coconut oil
• 4tbsps honey
• 3 tbsps pistachios
• 2 tbsps shredded coconut
• 1 (organic) lemon
• cinnamon
• and 1/2 cup of unsalted cashews (soaked in water for at least 2 hrs!) for the icing (you can also do it without icing, would make a perfect granola bar then).

This is how you do it:

Start by mixing 1 cup of almonds in a food processor to make almond flour  (or use almond flour). Put this aside in a bowl and ground 1/2 cup of oats until 'meal consistency' as well. Add this to the almond meal together with the melted coconut oil, honey, pistachios, cranberries and shredded coconut. Then, add grated lemon peel of one whole lemon and cinnamon to taste. Mix everything well and place the mixture on a flat surface, approx 1cm thick (kind of pressing everything well together while doing so).

Place this in the freezer while making the icing. Simply blend the soaked cashews with 2tbsps of lemon juice - use the one you grated the peel of - in a food processor until it gets creamy. Get the 'dough' out of the freezer, spread the icing on top and freeze for about 2hours before cutting them up to enjoy:)

You can just store them in your freezer, would recommend taking them out about half an hour before you want to eat them.

Enjoy!
