Ingredients
  • 8 dates, pitted and soaked in water 30 minutes
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 2 tbs coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • dash of salt
  • ¼ cup cacao nibs
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked in water 4 hours
  • ¼ cup coconut butter
  • 3 tbs maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • dash of salt
  • splash of non-dairy milk, as needed to blend

Instructions
  1. To prepare cookies, drain dates and blend them with oat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt until thoroughly combined and batter is formed. Stir in cacao nibs.
  2. Roll batter out on a piece of parchment paper until ½" thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut circle shapes. Transfer cookies to plate or tray and place in refrigerator to set.
  3. Prepare filling by draining cashews and blending them with coconut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth. If needed, add a splash or two of milk to help blend.
  4. Remove cookies from refrigerator. To assemble sandwiches, spread a scoop of filling across half of the cookies, then place another cookie on top. Sprinkle cacao nibs around sides and use your hands to gently press them in. Place cookies in refrigerator for 30 minutes to set before enjoying.
