I'm still on this simple-cookie, non-traditional-cookie, not-so-sugary-cookie, easy-cookie mission. And I have a new one. Dates, thank you AGAIN for all you have done for me!
German Chocolate Cookies
2 C pitted dates
1 C oats
1/2 C chopped pecans
1/2 C shredded coconut
1/4 C cocoa powder
pinch of salt
chocolate or white chocolate chips, optional
water
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add dates, oats, salt, and cocoa powder to the bowl of a food processor. Process, adding water by the tablespoon until it forms a thick paste. Add pecans and coconut and process some more, adding more water if necessary. (You'll want everything to glide around the bowl of the food processor with a relative amount of ease, but the mixture should still be thick like cookie dough.) Taste the dough, and add more of any ingredient if you see fit.
Use a cookie dough scooper to forms balls of dough. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and press each one gently to make a disk. Stud each one with chocolate chips, if you like. (Cookies can be placed close together, since they won't expand much during baking.) Bake 15 minutes or until set. Cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge. These cookies have a very long life in the fridge, and are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or snacks.
