1.soak dates and berries in water for at least 1/2 an hour to soften.

Beautiful! I love the pic & the idea – yes, apple fries :) I’m also going to have to look up those chia sesame crackers, since I’ve been wondering what to do with the chia seeds I bought :) Thanks

about the cookies pictured I have my sesame/chia seed mixture soaking and am about to go soak some gojis for those cookies! Any suggestions as to how to use the cookie cutter? do i do it while all raw or dehydrate a while then cut? also, do after you assemble the cookies do you dehydrate again after assembling?

hi, everyone…thanks for the comments…Aziah, i cut the cookie shapes after rolling out the raw batter,right on the parchment paper,make even numbers of solid for the bottom cookie and ones with a hole cut-out for the tops. press and wiggle slightly(the cutter, of course)leave the scraps in place while dehydrating.they were dry enough to punch out the cookies when i flipped them.assemble after they are completly dry.i used fondant cutters which come in 3 sizes of the same shape,so the middle cut-out is a flower ,too.
