Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drain dates from water and place into food processor. Pulse until they become a thick sticky paste.

Step 3

Add in peanut butter and mix until ingredients are completely combined and mixture forms a cookie dough ball. If your mixture is too wet and still like a paste, add about 1/2 tbsp of water and pulse again until thickened to dough consistency.

Step 4

Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop and scoop out dough balls. Roll dough ball between palms to further compact the dough. Use the back of a spoon or the palm of your hand to press down on dough ball and form a thick round disk. Use a fork to make criss-cross indents on surface of cookies. Repeat with remaining dough balls. You can eat cookies right away or place into fridge for about 1 hour to firm up more. Uneaten cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature.
