Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sunflower seed butter
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the pitted Medjool dates and sunflower seed butter. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the dates are fully integrated.
Add the almond flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the food processor. Blend again until the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
If you are using mini chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough by hand after removing it from the food processor.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls, then gently flatten them with your palm or a fork to form a classic cookie shape.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, or enjoy immediately for a softer texture.
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
