Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 - 23 minutes
Total Time: 35 - 38 minutes
Makes around 20 medium sized cookies
Equipment:
Baking/Parchment Paper
Mixing Bowl
Baking Tray
Cooling Rack
Fork/Whisk
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
100 grams / ½ cup of powdered sugar (adjust to your liking, but around this much)
85 grams / ⅜ cup of pumpkin seeds
85 grams / ⅜ cup of sunflower seeds
85 grams / ⅜ cup of almond slices (or any other nut/seed of your choice)
Instructions:
Toasting The Nuts (optional):
Preheat your oven at 180℃. Put all your seeds and nuts on a baking tray with parchment paper and toast it until it's a light golden brown.
Preparing The Nut Coating:
Mix the egg whites with the icing sugar until it’s kind of whipped or frothy.
Add the nuts and seeds and stir it so that everything is coated evenly. It should be in between the consistency of cookie dough and cake batter.
Use a spoon to scoop and spread the mixture into circles.
Bake it in the oven for about 20-23 minutes. My mistake was taking them out too early, so to prevent that you could check the bottoms to see if they have browned.
They will seem soft once you take them out but you have to let them cool for at least 5 minutes for them to crisp up.

Mini Story Time ~
A few weeks back, we received a package from Johor. Curious, I opened it up and found 2 huge bags of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. The package was addressed to my father so I had planned to ask him about it the next day. Cut to 4 weeks later, I still didn't know what they were for because I had forgotten to ask him.
Last week he brought it up in a conversation saying that he had gotten both bags for him to snack on. Just so you know, these bags are BIGGER THAN MY HANDS… and a lemon. My mother suggested that we should make florentine biscuits with them, and that's how the idea for this recipe came about. Coincidentally, my friend's birthday was coming up so I wanted to give them something and I had to think of a recipe to write an article about for We@Tenby. The timing couldn't have been more perfect!
