Does making cookies in under 10 minutes sound impossible to you? One of the number one reasons for not eating healthy is that there's not enough time, but anyone can pull this off. These cookies are made of whole, real food and contain no refined sugar. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup coconut, shredded and unsweetened
10 dates, pitted
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
Pulse almonds in a food processor until they resemble fine bread crumbs. Add the coconut, dates, cocoa and coconut oil. Pulse until everything clumps together. Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl if necessary. Taste the cookie mixture... If it's not sweet enough, add the maple syrup or honey and give it a few more pulses. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture (pressing against the side of the bowl) and drop by spoonfuls on a plate or piece of waxed paper. Cool in the refrigerator until firm. Eat & enjoy.
Variations & Substitutions
Coconut is not your thing? Use all nuts.
Allergic to nuts? Use all coconut.
Don't like almonds? Try your favorite nut. Walnuts are a good choice.
Out of coconut oil? Try peanut, almond or sunflower seed butter. Just use a smidgen less.
Switch things up by adding cranberries, raisins, seeds or dark chocolate chunks, you're only limited by your imagination!
