Place the pitted dates in a food processor and blend until they form a sticky paste. If the dates are very dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand and then drain them well.
Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the food processor. Blend until fully combined and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, salt, chia seeds (if using), and raisins or dried cranberries (if using).
Pour the date and almond butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Flatten slightly with your palm to form a cookie shape. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick snack or dessert!
