Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

1 cup cashews
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup medjool dates pitted. If your dates are not soft enough to blend, soak in warm water for 15 minutes first
3 tablespoons cashew butter*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch salt
3 tablespoons raisins

Instructions

Place the cashews and oats into the base of a food processor and blend until very crumbly, like a course flour.
Add in the dates and pulse until dates are finely ground.
Add in the rest of the ingredients and pulse until a sticky dough forms. When pinches between your fingers, it should easily stick together.
Using a small cookie scoop or a 2-tablespoon scoop, roll the dough into balls. Repeat with the rest of the balls.
Store in the fridge for up to 6 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

If your dates are not soft enough to blend, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before adding
The cashews and cashew butter really makes this taste like cookie dough, but you can use an almond or peanut butter. It may not be quite like a cookie dough, but will still be delicious!
