Ingredients
  

Instructions

  • In a food processor or blender, process the dates until they’re broken down and form a paste-like consistency. Stop the processor a few times to scrape down the sides.
  • Add the peanut butter, oats, peanuts, salt and vanilla to the food processor. Process until well combined. If the dough seems too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoon of water at a time, blending after each addition, until the mixture is sticky enough to form into balls without crumbling apart (I added 2 tablespoons).
  • Add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times to break down and combine. Place dough mixture in the fridge for about 15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
  • Roll the dough into 12 bite-sized balls. Next, flatten each with a fork or the palm of your hand, fixing any larger cracks along the edges with your fingers.
  • Top with additional finely chopped peanuts and chocolate chips, if desired. Store in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to allow the cookies to firm up.

Notes

  • Use soft dates: I prefer to use soft dates for this recipe. If your dates seem extra hard, soak them in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes to soften them and make them easier to blend.
  • For stickier dough: Once you've combined the ingredients in the food processor, it should form a big ball of sticky dough. If your mixture still seems too crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, processing after each addition, until the mixture is sticky enough to form into cookies.
  • Allow them to sit: The cookies might seem a bit oily at first, but the oats will absorb most of the oil after the cookies have been sitting for about an hour or so in the fridge.
