Makes About 16 Cookies
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- ½ cup almonds OR
- 1/2 cup raw cashews soaked in water for 3 hours
- 1/2 cup dry oats
- 2 T unsweetened sunflower seed butter ( or any creamy nut butter)
- 2 T coconut oil
- 5 T cocoa (or cacao) powder
- 4 T hemp seeds
- 2 T molasses (optional)
- 2 T cacao nibs
- 1 tsp sea salt coarse
- Optional variations: Add some cayenne to spice it up, cinnamon, protein powder, or shredded coconut
Method:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
- Pulse until nuts and seeds are broken down enough to roll into a ball and everything starts to clump together. This takes about 40-60 seconds. Add water or more liquid from the ingredients if you’d prefer mixture to be more moist.
- Use a spoon to scoop out cookie batter and form into balls onto your baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve used the remainder of the cookie dough.
- Use a fork to gently press down each cookie, making a crisscross pattern on each cookie. Or use a cookie cutter to shape your cookies!
- Pop your cookie sheet into the refrigerator to allow cookies to chill.
- Cookies will keep in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer up to 3 months. Enjoy!
