Cookie Swap Cookies

by Nedah Barrett of leanKitchen.com

Bring this cookie recipe to the next cookie swap you attend where you get together with a group of friends and everyone brings a batch of cookies (and copies of the recipe), and you leave with a bunch of recipes, and a variety of cookies.
 
2/3 C Raisins
2/3 C Chopped Dried Apricots
2/3 C Chopped Pitted Dates
1 tsp Grated Fresh Lemon Peel
1 tsp Grated Fresh Orange Peel
1 C Almonds, whole or chopped
¼ tsp Ground Cardamom
¼ tsp Ground Cinammon
2 tbsp vanilla or orange JaylabPro protein Powder
1/16 tsp Ground Cloves

Combine all ingredients in a food processor. With a steel blade, process until mixture is uniformly ground and holds together.  If you need more moisture, add lemon or orange juice.

Form mixture into 1-inch balls, wetting your hands slightly to prevent sticking.

Place cookies on a plate in a single layer, wrap tightly, and chill several hours to blend flavors. Store in the refrigerator. (They can be stacked in a container when they are cold and will keep well for several weeks if covered tightly).
