Ingredients  

Shortbread

Filling

  • 10 pitted dates (soaked in hot water.)

Coating

  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate
  • 1-2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Next, make the shortbread by combining the almond flour, maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl.
  • Use a double cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into a ball with the palm of your hands. Flatten, and place on the baking sheet. Then, using the back of the cookie scoop make an indent in the center. The edges may crack, that’s okay. Just use your fingers to mold it back together.
  • Bake for 25-27 minutes and then let cool completely.
  • In the meantime, remove the pit from the medjool dates and place in a large bowl with hot water. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to soften. Drain the water and place in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • When ready, add the date caramel to the cookies and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden.
  • In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or on a double broiler on the stovetop and then coat the cookies. Place back on the parchment paper and back in the freezer to harden completely, about 10-15 minutes.
  • When ready, remove from the freezer and enjoy!

Notes

  • When forming the indent in the center, the edges may crack. That's okay, just use your fingers to mold the cookie back together.
  • You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times when making the date caramel. Just keep blending until there are little to no chunks left. If you're having a hard time making it smooth and creamy, add in a splash of the date water.
  • To melt the chocolate, add to a bowl with 1 tsp of coconut oil and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well each time.
