Makes 25-30 bites

For the nut butter:

1 bag (1 cup) Purely Sprouted Orange Ginger Snack Mix

1 tsp coconut oil for blending the nut butter (if needed)

Other ingredients: 

¼ cup coconut oil, room temperature

¼ cup organic cane sugar

¼ tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp orange zest

¼ tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp oat milk

¾ cup gluten-free all purpose flour 

Cane sugar and orange zest for garnish 

1. To a food processor or high powered blender, add one bag of Purely Sprouted Orange Ginger Snack Mix. Blend on high, adding 1 tsp coconut oil if needed to help blend, until a nut butter-like mixture begins to form (it’s okay if there are a few larger crumbles in the mixture). 
2. Add the rest of the coconut oil, sugar, salt, orange zest, vanilla extract, and oat milk into the food processor and blend until combined. Add the gluten-free flour and blend on low until a dough forms. 
3. Shape the dough into a ball, then roll out on a floured surface until the dough is about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into 1 inch squares and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. 
4. Bake at 325F for 8-10 minutes. 
5. Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with sugar and orange zest while they’re still hot (the heat will help the garnish stick to the cookies). Let cool completely.
