Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans
- ⅓ cup oats, rolled or quick
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 10 medjool dates
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3-4 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup crushed pecans, for dipping
- 6 teaspoons peanut butter, for the thumbprint, ½ teaspoon for each cookie
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon refined coconut oil, optional, to help thin the chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- In a food processor add the pecans, oats, cocoa powder, dates, peanut butter, water, vanilla and salt. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together.
- Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Coat the balls in the crushed pecans, using your hands to press the pecans in so they stick.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined pan and lightly press down to flatten. Use a ½ teaspoon or your finger to create an indent in the middle of each cookie.
- Add ½ teaspoon of peanut butter to the center of each cookie.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in the microwave in 30 second intervals and stir until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate on top of each cookie. Place the cookies in the fridge until the chocolate sets, about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
