Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy organic peanut butter
  • 10-13 Medjool dates (10 large, 13 small)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
Instructions
  1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F and take out a baking sheet
  2. In a food processor add the peanut butter, dates, egg and vanilla and turn the food processor on and mix until the dates are all broken up and combined in the peanut butter. It may take a minute or more to do this step
  3. Add the gelatin, salt and coconut to the food processor and pulse until lightly combined
  4. Add in the sesame seeds and mix in the food processor for 1 minute until everything is completely combined and smooth. The dough is going to be pretty thick because of the peanut butter and shredded coconut
  5. Make the cookies using a Tablespoon of dough. You can roll it into a ball or use a Tablespoon cookie scoop. Place about 2 inches apart from each other. Using a fork push down the cookie and make an indent vertically and horizontally
  6. Bake for 8 minutes and very carefully remove from the cookie sheet and allow to cool completely
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature
