Extremely delicious raw cookies that are quick and easy to make. Dates and almond flour make them a healthy and energy-rich snack. Perfect as a healthy snack idea for kids. Naturally sweetened, without added sugar.
If dates are very hard, soak in hot water for 30 minutes and strain before processing. For high quality Medjool dates, this step can be ignored as the dates are usually soft enough.
First, put the dates in the blender and process to a fine paste. Using a silicone spatula, keep brushing down the edges.
200 g Medijool dates
Add almond flour, bourbon vanilla and salt and continue mixing.
115 g Almond flour, ¼ tbspn Bourbon vanilla, 1 Pinch of salt
If the dough is too dry, add a sip of water and continue mixing.
Add peanut butter and continue mixing until everything is well combined and a compact dough is formed that can be easily shaped. See video.
15 g Peanut butter, A few sips of water
Separate dough with a spoon into 14 equal pieces and shape into a ball. Flatten slightly with the flat of your hand and shape into a cookie.
(Optional) using a damp fork, press a typical diamond pattern into the cookies.
Garnish with desired toppings and serve.
Enjoy immediately or place remaining cookies in a resealable box and store in the refrigerator or freezer. In the refrigerator they last about 1 week, in the freezer up to 4 weeks.
