Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225 g) pitted Medjool dates
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 cup roasted almonds
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it.
  2. In a food processor, combine dates, almond milk, roasted almonds, and peanut butter.
  3. Blend for about 1 minute, scraping the sides as needed, until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  4. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of almond milk. If too wet, mix in almond or oat flour.
  5. Lightly oil your hands and roll the dough into 14 small balls. Place on the baking sheet.
  6. Flatten each ball with an oiled fork in a crisscross pattern to about 0.2 inches thick.
  7. Bake for 14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly darkened.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely (at least 1 hour).

Notes

  • Use different nut butters like almond or cashew for variation.
  • Swap roasted almonds with cashews, pistachios, or pecans for unique texture.
  • Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or sea salt to enhance flavor.
  • If dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before blending.
  • Cookies taste even better the next day after flavors deepen.
