Keep these as round balls or flatten with the back of a glass jar into cookies.

|
| ¼ cup almond butter | |
| 1 cup pitted dates | |
| 1 tsp vanilla extract | |
| ¼ tsp sea salt | |
| ¼ cup chopped almonds |
Soak the dates for 10 minutes in water to soften. Drain liquid, and place in a food processor to blend into a sticky puree. Add the remaining ingredients, and process until a dough has formed – dough should stick together when rolled into a small ball. If dough is too sticky, add more chopped almonds; if too dry, add a touch of water, 1 tsp at a time.
Roll the dough into 1” balls, and refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Makes about 2 ½ dozen.
