Cinnamon-Pecan Date Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Medjool dates (pitted)

• 1 cup pecans

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tsp Himalayan salt

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp vanilla bean powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly.

2. Blend the Mixture:

   • In a food processor, combine the dates, pecans, chia seeds, Himalayan salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean powder.

   • Pulse until the mixture comes together into a sticky, slightly chunky dough. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture from the pecans.

3. Form the Cookies:

   • Scoop out roughly 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Roll the dough into a ball and flatten it into a cookie shape. Repeat until you have 9 cookies.

4. Chill:

   • Place the cookies on a parchment-lined plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

5. Serve:

   • Enjoy straight from the fridge for a chewy, satisfying treat!

Storage:
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
