Apple / Nut Cookies
1 cup almonds (soaked and dehydrated)
1 cup hazelnuts (soaked and dehydrated)
1 cup of dried apples
¼- ½ cup honey or agave syrup
5-7 pitted and soaked dates
1 tsp vanilla
Place nuts in a food processor and grind until chopped evenly into small pieces. Add dried apples and dates and remove from food processor and turn into a bowl. Roll into small balls and press a hazelnut or almond down into the middle. If you do not dehydrate them, they will be much softer, but just as yummy.
Dehydrate from 12- 36 hours until hard, if desired.
These can be frozen for up to 3 months.

About some of the above ingredients:
Now back in season are avocados which have been shown to have an effect on blood serum cholesterol levels. Specifically, after a seven day diet rich in avocados, patients with hypercholesterol, showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Additionally, they have a high anti bacterial component.
Also in season again are pomegranates (rimon here in Israel). The seeds and juice from the seeds are high in vitamin C and phytonutrients.
Tradition holds that a pomegranate has 613 seeds to represent the 613 mitzvot in the Torah. The design of the pomegranate was woven into the high priest’s robes, and brass representations were part of the Beit Hamigdashs’ pillars. The pomegranate is mentioned six times inch Song of Solomon.
