Ingredients

Christmas Cookie Balls

  • 2 cups pecans walnuts or almonds (220 g)
  • 1 cup dates pitted and chopped (120 g)
  • ½ cup dried apples 100 g
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons gingerbread spices
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions

  • Place your nuts of choice into a food processor and pulse until they are all broken down.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and process until the mixture comes together nicely.
  • Stop and scrape down the sides when needed and add more water until you have a homogenous and slightly sticky mixture.
  • Using your wetted hands, form little balls and, if desired, roll them in some more shredded coconut for a “snowflake” look.
  • Enjoy right away or store them in an airtight container in the fridge until serving them.

Notes
