DATE ALMOND COOKIES
(makes approx. two dozen)
These cookies came together quite nicely.
The flavors of the almonds, carob, cinnamon, & dates create a sort of creamy, crunchy texture, they almost remind me of fig newtons.
Carob Date Filling:
3/4 c almonds
1 T tahini
1.5 c california dates, soaked
1/4 c carob powder
1 T vanilla
1. Process almonds.
2. Add everything else & process until the mixture is incorporated (it will be sticky).
Cinnamon Almond Crust:
1 c almonds
2 T + 1 t agave nectar
pinch salt
1 t cinnamon
1. Process almonds.
2. Add everything else.
3. Process until the crust starts to come together.
To assemble:
Start with a rectangle of plastic wrap, form crust into a rectangle.
Place the filling on top of the crust.
Roll into log.
Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Cut off in desired thickness.
enjoy.
