These are amazing, and so addictive! I usually double the recipe so they will last more than a few days.
Ingredients:
3 cup dried shredded coconut
1 cup dates, soaked and pitted
3 tablespoon almond
butter
2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoon olive oil or coconut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or half a vanilla bean)
2 teaspoon
cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cardamon
1 pinch sea salt
Preparation:
Combine dates, almond butter, honey/maple syrup, coconut butter/olive oil, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon and sea salt in a food processor, until smooth. Then add the coconut and process until
combined.
Take approx. 1-2 Tbsp of dough and press it onto a teflex sheet with the bottom of a wet drinking glass.
Dehydrate for approx. 12 hours on each side, until the outsides are crunchy, and the insides are still moist.

I've just made these. The mixture tastes great!!!! I can't wait to taste the final product!
I only had a half-cup of dates left, so I used a banana to make up for the other half cup. I also used almond extract instead of vanilla, and having no cardamon I used an extra half teaspoon of both cinnamon and nutmeg. I'll let you know how it makes it taste!

These cookies look good, taste great and make your home smell delicious (while in your dehydrator). I just tried them this week. Thanks :-)
