Ingredients

3 dates, pitted

3/4 cup unsalted raw almonds 

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes 

1/2 cup rolled oats 

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips 

Directions

  1. Soak the pitted dates in 1/4 cup hot water for 5 minutes; reserve the water.
  2. In a food processor, combine the almonds, coconut flakes, oats and salt. Pulse until a fine meal forms. Add the peanut butter, soaked dates, 3 tablespoons of the reserved soaking water and the vanilla. Process until the mixture forms a cookie-dough consistency. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto the baking sheet. Refrigerate until the dough is chilled and set, about 20 minutes. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container with parchment in between the layers.

Great healthy cookie recipe. My kids and their friends loved it! I made a few modifications:<br /> <br />1) Used steel cut quick cook oats instead of rolled oats <br /><br />2) Soaked the almonds in almond milk for a few hours (2-3) prior to chopping them.<br /><br />3) Used 5 dates instead of 3 ; it wasn’t quite sweet enough for me with 3 dates<br /><br />4) Replaced peanut butter with roasted sunflower butter instead<br /><br />5) Used 2 tablespoon of date water and 1 tablespoon of almond milk from the soaked almonds
