4-Ingredient Samoa Cookies

I cannot take credit for this recipe at all, as I saw @gracefulwellness post about a holistic take on girl scout cookies, but I had to post my version of that recipe because they were just so so good.

These took about 15 minutes to prepare, but I think I ate them in a total of 35 seconds. These are the perfect post-dinner sweet treat or pre-workout snack with minimal ingredients that won't leave you feeling like crap. Full of natural sugar and fiber, these are guaranteed to be a staple for you and your kids! Andiamo!

INGREDIENTS:

serving size: around 6 medium-sized cookies

• 15 pitted organic medjool dates

• 1 cup organic coconut flakes

• 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate melting chips

• 1 teaspoon of organic coconut oil (to melt the chocolate chips)

• Optional: sprinkle of maldon flaky sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a food processor, add your pitted dates. Blend until they turn into a thick paste.

2. In a small saucepan, add your coconut flakes and toast on medium-low until golden brown.

3. Add your date paste and toasted coconut flakes in a large bowl and well-combine.

4. Microwave your chocolate chips in the microwave, in 30-second intervals, with your teaspoon of coconut oil. Instead of using the microwave, you can always heat your chocolate chips in a glass bowl over a pan on the stove.

5. Roll your date and coconut paste into small balls and flatten on a piece of parchment paper. Then, drizzle your melted chocolate on top and add flaky sea salt.

6. Freeze for 10-20 minutes before serving and enjoying. Buon Appetito!
