Ingredients

  • ½ cup soft, pitted Medjool dates about 8
  • ½ cup sunflower seed butter with no added sugar
  • 1 ½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate chips I used Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips because they're vegan & sweetened with Stevia

Instructions

  • In a food processor with an S blade, puree the dates until a ball forms.
  • Add the sunflower seed butter, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt, and puree again.
  • Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  • Use a ¾-ounce (size 40) scoop or your hands to form the dough into about 14 balls, and refrigerate to set. Store the cookies in the refrigerator.
