Ingredients
- 3/4 cup puréed dates and figs (about 6 dates, 6-8 figs-size matters)
- 1/2 cup melted vegan butter (Nutiva. Thrive Market or Amazon)
- 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic orange flavor
- 1 egg or 1 flax egg
- 1 cup organic almond butter
- 1/4 cup organic carob powder
- 1 tsp. Simply Organic vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. Xanthan gum
- 2 1/2 cups very fine organic almond flour
Directions
Pre-heat oven 325 degrees
Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Purée dates and figs in a cuisinart.
In a large bowl, with a hand mixer add vegan butter and orange flavor and beat well together.
Add egg and mix.
Add the almond butter and use the mixer to blend until it is totally mixed with the butter and egg.
Next comes the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
I baked these on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. (Easy clean)
Make the cookie dough into balls all the same size. Pat them down on the parchment paper to resemble a cookie the size you would want to eat.
These bake a little longer that a traditional cookie, about 20-25 min.
Check that they are slightly brown on the bottom. They will be soft.
