Directions
- Drain pecans and dates.
- Blend all ingredients except cacao nibs in a food processor with an S-blade just until crumbly.
- Stir in cacao nibs, if using.
- Take a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a small ball. You may flatten this to make it more cookie-like. Refrigerate. These cookies keep well for a long time.
Notes
Do not eat more than two at a time, because they may cause blood sugar or pH issues.
Variations:
- Add 2 teaspoons vanilla or almond extract, a pinch of sea salt, 1⁄2 cup grated coconut, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, or 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg.
- Half a cup of raisins or 1⁄4 cup agave nectar may be added, if you want a sweeter cookie.
