Raw Pecan Sandies
Serves: 6 (2 cookies per serving)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups (124 g) raw pecans (halves or pieces), plus 12 whole pecan halves for decoration
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp lucuma powder (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla powder or vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) pitted medjool dates (10–12 dates)
Instructions:
- Read through recipe and put all ingredients in your work area before starting your prep.
- In a food processor fitted with the S blade, place pecans, salt, cinnamon, lucuma (if using) and vanilla and process until everything is roughly broken down.
- Add dates. Process the mixture until everything is even and sticks together (about 1–2 minutes). When you squeeze a small amount of the mixture in your hand, you want it to stick together easily.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Flatten each slightly with the palm of your hand, and then press a pecan half on top. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to ten days.
