No-Bake Samoa Cookies (Grain Free, Vegan).
Crispy coconut, chewy date caramel, and rich chocolate make these grain free samoa cookies a delicious no bake treat!
Ingredients
- 8 Medjool dates pitted, uou can also use Deglet Noor if you can't find Medjool
- 2 teaspoons water
- pinch salt
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes toasted* (see notes)
- ¾ cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- If your dates are a bit dry, place them in warm water for a few minutes to soften them before proceeding.
- Place the pitted Medjool dates in the food processor. Add the pinch of salt and a little water. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides and add a little more water if needed.
- Add the toasted coconut and stir with a spoon.
- Roll the mixture into balls, and flatten with your hand. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet that has been lined with waxed paper. Use a straw to poke a hole in the middle of each cookie.
- Place the cookies in the freezer for about one hour.
- After the cookies have chilled, melt the dairy free chocolate chips either in the microwave or on the stove.
- Dip the chilled cookies in the melted chocolate, coating the bottom with chocolate. Place on the cookie sheet again.
- Drizzle the tops of the cookies with the remaining chocolate. (You can use a spoon for this, or put the chocolate into a ziploc bag with the tip cut off, and then pipe the chocolate over the cookies).
- Place the tray of finished cookies in the refrigerator so that the chocolate firms up. Store leftover cookies in the refrigerator.
Notes
*If the coconut flakes are not toasted, you can toast them by placing them on a cookie sheet and baking them at 300 degrees F for about 5 minutes. Don't wander too far off, they can easily burn. They are done when they are fragrant and lightly golden brown.
Store leftover cookies in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 5 days. You can also store these in the freezer. They should stay fresh frozen for up to 3 months.
