Ingredients
- 1 Cup pitted dates
- 1 Tbsp cashew butter

- ½ Cup Tumaco 85% Dark Chocolate
- 1 Cup coconut flakes
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
- Soak the dates in hot water.
- Spread the coconut out evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, or until the coconut is a light golden color. Be careful not to let it burn.
- In a food processor, prcoess together the dates, toasted coconut, cashew butter & vanilla on high until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides.
- Use a tablespoon cookie scoop to form balls and flatten them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, use a smoothie straw to create a hole in the middle, reshaping if necessary. Place in the freezer for about 5 minutes, or until you're ready to dip the cookies.
- Microwave the chocolate, stopping every 30 seconds to stir, until melted. *See recipe notes for more information.
- Dip the bottom of the cookies in the chocolate, lightly scraping off the excess.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate into a plastic bag, snip off a small corner, and pour the chocolate over the cookies.
