These healthy cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside! Not too sweet, great texture with the coconut, very satisfying, and best right out of the oven! You could actually refrigerate them for a no-bake cookie option like little cookie bites, but I prefer them baked. They are actually sweeter un-baked, so see what you think, but I love the mellow taste and yummy texture baked.
First put in a food processor:
1/2 cup dates (5-6 large medjool)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs cocoa powder
1/4 cup applesauce
Puree into a creamy chocolate pudding texture.
Pour into a bowl and stir in:
2tbs ground flax
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup shredded coconut
1 scoop french vanilla vega protein powder
2 tbs chia seeds
1 cup rolled oats
pinch baking soda
pinch salt
Combine well, roll into little balls and place on non-stick cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 12-15 min and enjoy! I like mine a little crispier, but start with 12 min and then see. They make good work snacks/ portable breakfast, etc!
