Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dates
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1.5 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp honey
- 5 oz organic dark chocolate
- 1 tbs olive oil
Instructions
- Start by giving your dried fruits a revitalizing soak in cold water for 15 minutes. This step not only removes preservatives but also activates their beneficial properties.
- Once soaked, drain the water and blend together the dates, dried cranberries, and oatmeal until you achieve a sticky mixture.
- Toast the almonds and peanuts separately in a pan until golden brown. Then, chop them finely or grind them in a blender for a more uniform texture. Add the nuts to your base mix and give it a good stir.
- Add honey to the mixture and ensure it's evenly distributed.
- Roll the mixture into small spheres and place them on a silicone mold. Gently flatten each ball to your desired thickness. This step sets the foundation for our delicious cookies.
- Melt the dark chocolate and stir in olive oil. Once melted, carefully dip each cookie into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they're fully coated.
- Pop your cookies into the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set and the flavors to meld together.
