DIRECTIONS

1. To make cookies, grind almonds and sunflower seeds into a fine powder. Add in remaining ingredients (except flax) & process until smooth.
2. Transfer to a mixing bowl & stir in flax until well combined.Transfer 1/2 dough to a dehydrator sheet and place another sheet on top. Roll out with a rolling pin. You may need to refrigerator batter for a 1 hour (or overnight) so it is easier to roll.
3. Using cookie cutters, cut out cookies.
4. Dehydrate overnight, take off the sheet & dehydrate again for another 4 hours.*You could also bake at 325. Be sure to freeze the dough after cutting if you are going to bake these cookies. This will ensure cookies will have a crunch and not burn.
5. Meanwhile, combine all icing ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
6. Let set in the fridge for an hour or until slightly hard. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe on cooled cookies. Enjoy!
