Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates equivalent to around 10 dates
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate opt for low-sugar options like Lily’s chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp. coconut oil
Instructions
- Toast Coconut: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Take a baking sheet. Spread out the coconut evenly on it and toast it for about 3 to 5 minutes until it turns a nice golden color. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Blending Dates and Coconut: Now using a food processor blend the toasted coconut along with the pitted dates until they come together and form a dough consistency.
- Shaping the Cookies: Take 1 tablespoon of the dough. Roll it into small balls. Create a hole in the center of each ball using a straw. Place these cookies on a tray lined with parchment paper. Let them chill in the freezer for a while.
- Melting Chocolate: In order to melt chocolate you can use your microwave or do it over the stovetop. Heat up both the chocolate and coconut oil together until they become smooth and well combined.
- Dip & Drizzle: Next dip the bottoms of your chilled cookies into the melted chocolate. Then place them back onto parchment paper. To add some flair drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
- Set & Enjoy: Allow your cookies to freeze for around 10 to 15 minutes so that the chocolate sets properly. You can store them in your fridge for up to one week. Get ready to savor their deliciousness!
