Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw walnuts
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls with your hands.

  5. 5

    Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and press them down gently with your palm to flatten them into cookie shapes.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 10 minutes until they are lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Let the cookies cool completely on the pan before serving so they can firm up properly.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or keep them in the fridge to stay fresh for longer. They are delicious served alongside a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon pick me up.
