Original Recipe from La Mesa which is a beautiful blog with lots of yummy recipes! These "cookies" changed my life. I've always been a HUGE peanut butter cookie fan and this tastes exactly like peanut butter cookie dough except no butter, sugar, or flour!
Fair warning, these are MAJORLY addictive and you should plan to have lots of people to give them too so that you don't sit and eat the whole batch. (I've never done that I swear)
1 c raw almonds
1 c pitted medjool dates
1/2 - 3/4 c peanut butter or raw almond butter or a combination of both
1 tsp plus an extra splash vanilla extract
sea salt to taste (if your peanut butter has salt you may not need this)
about a handful of raw cacao nibs (optional)
Chop up your almonds to a fine grain with a food processor. Add in your dates, vanilla and salt if using and blend until a cookie dough consistency. It will be crumby but when pressed together it should hold its shape well. If it doesn't, then add more nut butter. Once you have the consistency you like put the mixture in a bowl and mix in the cacao nibs if using with your hands to distribute them evenly.
Roll dough into walnut sized balls flatten slightly with your hands and cross hatch them with a fork like a traditional peanut butter cookie. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
