Vanilla Almond Cookies

(adapted from here)

Makes 18-22 cookies

1 1/4 cups almond milk pulp
6-8 soaked and pitted medjool dates
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond or coconut flour (I used pecan flour)
1 vanilla bean, scraped, or 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
Dash sea salt

1. Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until the “dough” is the same texture and consistency of sugar cookie dough. You may need to add a little more flour, but start with the given amount.

2. You can use the dough in a cookie press or (since i dont own a cookie press), you can always roll them out or just form them into cookies.

33 Dehydrate the cookies at 115 degrees for 8 hours, flipping once through (if you dehydrate these overnight and don’t flip, it’s also fine).

Notes: these cookies would work well with some lavender or cinnamon. These are perfect for a tea party or (dipped in raw chocolate) a little fancy gift.
