Ingredients

For the peanut butter cookie dough balls

  • 5 medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (only ingredient should be peanuts or peanuts and salt)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch sea salt

For the chocolate coating

  • 1/2 4 oz dark chocolate bar
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a plate and set aside.
  • Soak dates in hot water for five minutes so that they are easier to blend. After five minutes, drain the water. Add dates, peanut butter, almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to a food processor and blend. You may need to stop and scrape the sides a couple of times.
  • Scoop out a heaping tablespoon for each cookie dough ball, roll with (clean!) hands until smooth, and place on the parchment paper-lined plate. Set plate in the freezer for one hour.
  • Remove the cookie dough balls from the freezer. Break apart your chocolate bar and place in a microwave safe bowl with coconut oil and melt in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
  • Using two spoons, dip each ball into the melted chocolate and then place them back on the plate. Top with sea salt and set back into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
