Muesli Cookies with Fleur de Sel
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups muesli
  • ¼ cup tart cherries coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup raw sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup coco nibs
  • ½ tsp vanilla paste
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbs honey
  • 1 egg white room temperature and lightly beaten
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • Fleur de sel for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. In a small pot, mix the honey, maple syrup, vanilla and oil and heat on low until the mixture starts to simmer. Immediately, turn off the stove and let the mixture cool until it reaches room temperature.
  2. In a large bowl, combine muesli, pecans, sesame seeds and kosher salt. Add maple syrup mixture and stir.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 15 to 20 minutes until it softens.
  4. Stir in the beaten egg white. Continue working the mixture, in fact I recommend that you crush it for few seconds with the palm of your hands until it starts clumping together forming a ball.
  5. Add, the chopped cherries, cocoa nibs and stir. Scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet using an ice cream scoop. Lightly sprinkle each cookie with Fleur de Sel and bake at 300 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
Notes
The cookies will still be soft right out of the oven. They will get crispy as they cool. Make sure to let them cool for at least an hour before serving.
