Organic Medjool Dates

The Healthiest Cookies EVER

Author: Detoxinista.com

Serves: 12

Cookies made with 100% whole food ingredients for a healthy treat anytime.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups raw walnut halves
• 1 cup medjool dates, pitted (about 12)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water)
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an “S” blade, process the dates and walnuts together until a crumbly texture is formed. Add in the salt, baking soda, vanilla and flax egg and process again until the batter is relatively smooth. Add in the chocolate chips and briefly pulse, just to combine.
2. Spoon the batter onto a lined baking sheet, and use your hands to gently flatten the cookie dough. (Tip: Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking!) Bake at 350F for 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Serve immediately, and store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer for best shelf life. These cookies should last a week in the fridge, and a month or more in the freezer.

Chocolate Truffle Energy Bites

Ingredients:

• 14 Medjool dates, pitted and soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup dry-roasted salted peanuts (or any type of peanut, salted or unsalted – your preference)
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  optional for rolling: cocoa powder, shredded coconut, crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips

Directions:

First, make sure your dates are soft. You may soak them in warm water (and drain them) for 15 minutes before putting into the food processor or blender. OR you may chop them up into very small pieces so they blend easily.

Put all of your ingredients into the blender or food processor, in the order listed, and blend for 4-5 minutes or until a thick oily “dough” ball is formed. The dough will be oily from the seeds and nuts. You will have to scrape down the sides of the blender/food processor a few times to get all of the dry ingredients to the bottom. Once a dough is formed, scoop the dough (about 1 Tablespoon each) and roll into a smooth ball with your hands.

If rolling into cocoa powder, coconut, etc: spread rolling ingredients onto a plate and roll the moist dough ball around to fully cover. Store bites in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
