Easy Cookie Dough Bites: Have you ever had a LÄRABAR? Well this is basically the same as their cashew cookie Larabar. It's so good, and there's no added sugar, no flour, no baking, no gluten. All you need are: 4 ounces of cashews, 4 ounces of almonds, 8 ounces of pitted dates, and a splash of vanilla. Toast the nuts (I put 4 ounces on a plate, and then microwave for 30 seconds, touch to see if warm, if not, microwave for another 30 seconds). I keep nuts in the freezer, so it takes a minute for mine to toast. Do this in short increments as nuts burn quickly! Put the nuts and the dates into the food processor, and add a splash of vanilla. Turn your food processor on and let everything grind up. Mine took about 6 minutes to get to a very sticky dough ball kind of consistency. If it looks like sand and it's not sticky, it needs a few minutes longer. The nuts have to be ground to the point where the oils are coming to the surface, making the mixture get very sticky and you will see the oil in the food processor. You'll need to push down the sides a little bit during the first few minutes. Once you have a sticky mixture where you can squish it and it stays together, you're all set. I used a small cookie scoop, put the mixture in a silicone mini muffin tin, press down evenly, and pop it in the freezer. That way I can pop them out without them losing their shape. I love to make these as I have people in my family who are gluten free, and these are so easy to throw in a container or bag and eat them on the go. I hope you enjoy these, and let me know if you try them.
