Secret ingredient are dates! They are the sweetener and give the cookies a nice caramel flovour. Ground almonds make them gluten free and adds protein, Vitamin E and Omega 3. These will totally satisfy a sweet tooth.
The recipe is adopted by Hemsley + Hemsley (check them out. They do excellent food!)
How to:
Preheat oven to 180°C
-100g dates (make a paste out of them, throw in a food processor or blender or very finely chop them. If they are a little too dry pour over boiled water and let sit for about 10 mins, then discard water)
-250g ground almonds
- half tsp baking powder
-pinch of salt
-100g of the darkest chocolate you can find, chop roughly
Mix all together. Then form bite-sized balls and press flat on a lined baking tray. Bake for 10-15 mins or until golden brown. Cookign time depends on the shape of your cookies. Let allow to cool for at least 10 mins (I know this is one of the hardest parts).
Enjoy with your favorite cuppa!
Two notes:
1. You can even eat them raw! Form into balls and keep in the fridge.
2. When baking I have something healthy to nibble on. Fruit, veggie sticks with a dip or a (greek) yogurt. Otherwise there wouldn't be much cookie dough left.
