The first cookie is a repost of my Devilish Delight Chocolate Balls because they are my favourite (the cherries and real raw chocolate give them a rummy taste - well I think it does - try them and judge for yourself)Devilish Delights
- 3C Walnuts (soaked and drained at least 20 mins)
- 1C Almonds (soaked and drained - a few hours is best)
- 2C Dried Cherries
- 1C Pitted Dates (soaked for 20minutes - reserve soak water)
- 2.5C Shredded Coconut
- 2.5T Cacao Powder
- 4T Cacao Nibs (if you have fine without)
- 1/2C Raisins or Dried Cranberries
- 3T Maple Syrup
- 1/2T Basalmic Vinegar (brings out the taste in the cacao - I'm not sure why but it works)
Pulse Walnuts, Almonds, Cherries, Pitted Dates, Cacao, Cacao Nibs, Maple Syrup and Vinegar in food processor until goopy (if it is too dry add reserved soak water from dates 1T at a time until the consistency is similar to peanut butter). Stir in Shredded Coconut and Raisins mix well with spoon. Scoop out with a tablespoon and roll into balls in the palm of your hand. Use a small bowl of shredded coconut to roll the ball in to coat. Put balls on a plate lined with parchment paper and stick them in the fridge or freezer until firm until. I've been told these taste like they have alchohol in them due to the cacao nibs. I think they would be excellent at Christmas instead of rum balls.
