Notes on ingredients
- Dry roasted almonds and cashews: Roasting nuts deepens their flavor and gives them a crisper texture. Check How to roast nuts for instructions.
- Pitted dates: Put pitted dates in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak at room temperature for 2 hours or more until soft.
- Cacao powder: Use raw or regular cacao powder.
- Coconut flour: Coconut flour is made from coconut flesh that has been dried and finely ground. It’s not the same as shredded or desiccated coconut.
- Gingerbread spice mix: If you need a substitute, you can just use Pumpkin Pie Spice or cinnamon powder instead.
- Maple syrup (optional): If needed, for extra sweetness.
How to make it
Step 1
Drain dates really well after soaking them – you can use a fork to remove any excess water.
Step 2
Place dates, dry roasted almonds and dry roasted cashews (check How to roast nuts), cacao powder, coconut flour, and gingerbread spice mix into a food processor and process until the mixture sticks together. Adjust sweetness if needed by adding 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
Step 3
Form the dough into small cookies using your hands or by pressing the dough out on parchment paper and using a cookie cutter (my cookie cutter measures approx. 5-6 cm in diameter).
Step 4
Drizzle each cookie with melted dark chocolate and garnish with dried strawberries.
Storing
Store in the refrigerator.
