No Bake Sandwich Cookies (3 Days Left Folks...)

With a little tweaking and guidance from my friend Jackie... we have put a spin on the typical no-bake Oreo Cookie recipe

Ingredients

1 Cup Walnuts

1 and 1/3 Cup Pitted Dates

1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (Plush a splash for the filling)

Pinch of Salt

3 Tbs Cocoa Powder

2 Tbs Almond Butter

Coconut Flakes (Organic/Unsweetened)

Coconut Oil (Splash)

Instructions

Combine first five ingredients in a food processor, and process until the dates are completely broken up. (It's important to use a processor to get a good consistency). Take your mixture and place in a sealable ziploc bag.

While your dough is still in your sealable bag create a ball, and transfer to parchment paper.

Roll out and use cookie cutters to create your desired shape. 

Place your dough in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, to harden them a bit. 

While your outer cookie is in the fridge take your almond butter, coconut flakes, and coconut oil and place those in your food processor. Add a splash of pure vanilla extract if you so desire for the extra splash of goodness. Blend to create your cookie filling... if you want more of a coconut flavor, then add more flakes, if you prefer more of an almond butter flavor then add more of that. The filling is really up to you and your personal preference.

After your filling and your outer are ready to unite, simply scoop the filling on top of your circle to create a delicious paleo no bake cookie.
