Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 10 dates pitted and chopped
- 2/3 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup grated coconut unsweetened
- 1/4 cup minced almonds
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/8 cup water
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your dates are pitted and chopped for easy blending. If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before using.
- In your food processor, combine the chopped dates and 1/8 cup of water. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and sticky, resembling a thick paste.
- Add the almond meal and grated coconut to the date mixture. Pulse again until everything is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the minced almonds and dark chocolate chips. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or flatten them slightly to form cookies. Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
- Once chilled, your No-Bake Almond Joy Cookies are ready to eat! Enjoy them as a quick snack or a sweet treat anytime you need a pick-me-up.
