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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the almond flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the food processor. Blend again until the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
Step 3
If you are using mini chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough by hand after removing it from the food processor.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, or enjoy immediately for a softer texture.
Step 6
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
