1 C raw cashews
1/2 C fresh medjool dates, pitted
3/4 C palm shortening, lard, or butter
2 large eggs
1 T pure vanilla extract
2 T coconut flour
2 C blanched almond flour
1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt
1/2 C raisins
1/2 C sliced almonds
1/2 C pecans, finely diced
1/2 C dates, finely diced
Instructions
- Puree the cashews and dates together in a food processor for about 2 minutes, until very finely diced and thoroughly blended.
- Add wet ingredients to the processor (shortening, eggs, vanilla), puree until smooth and blended.
- Add dry ingredients to the processor (coconut and almond flours, baking soda and salt), pulse until just combined.
- Empty out mixture into mixing bowl and fold in remaining ingredients (raisins, sliced almonds, pecans and diced dates)
- Roll into tablespoon size balls and put on a lined or greased cookie sheet. Flatten with the palms of your hands and bake 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cookies are done when slightly brown - they will still be soft in the center. Let sit on the baking tray for about 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack, they will firm up during this time.
Makes 36 cookies, store at room temperature for up to 3 days then chill or freeze.
