Ingredients
 

COOKIES

  • 1 cup almonds
  • ½ cup hazelnuts
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 3 tbsp coconut honey or maple syrup
  • 5 Medjool Dates, seeds removed (or any other dates, natural and without sugar added)
  • ¼ cup water

BEST TOPPING (for party)

  • 50 gr 90% dark vegan chocolate
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 3-4 tbsp homemade granola or Early riser granola

Instructions
 

COOKIES

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C (fan).
  • First, place the 3 nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts) in a food processor and pulse for about 2 minutes, until you reach a flour texture.
  • Add all the other ingredients (buckwheat flour, chia seeds, raw cacao powder, maple syrup, dates and water) and pulse until you have a sticky paste.
  • Make small balls (it can be uneven) and place them on a lining baking tray (use a piece of waxing paper for example). Flatten each ball using a spoon, a fork or with your hands, until you have a roundish cookie (the edge might not be perfect). You can also use a wood cookie press (and press firmly).
  • Put the tray in the oven for approx. 12-14 min or until cooked. Check it after about 10 minutes to make sure it is not burning, as it depends sometimes on your oven. Don't overbake as it becomes firmer when it cools down.
  • Take them out and let them cool down. Place in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

BEST TOPPING (for party)

  • Using a bain-marie (a bowl over simmering water), melt the dark chocolate along with 2 tbsp of almond nut butter. Keep mixing with a metal spoon until smooth. The chocolate will thicken a bit.
  • Decorate the cookies with the almond/chocolate frosting and sprinkle with delicious granola. Place in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes and enjoy. Perfect for any party!
