Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 ounces melted dark chocolate
  • flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine almond butter, pitted Medjool dates, vanilla extract, and baking soda in a food processor. Pulse until combined and no large date chunks remain. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water if the dough is too dry.
  3. Roll the dough into 16-17 balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, flatten gently with your hand, and press down with a fork to create a crosshatch pattern.
  4. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  5. Freeze cookies for 10-15 minutes to make dipping easier.
  6. Drizzle or dip cookies in melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let chocolate harden before eating or storing.

Notes

- Ensure your almond butter is creamy and smooth for the best dough consistency.
- If the dough seems too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
- Freezing the cookies before dipping in chocolate prevents them from melting too quickly.
