Cookie Dough Cookies

1 C. almond butter*
3/4 t. Celtic Sea Salt
1 T. flax oil
1 T. walnut oil
1 T. honey (or use an extra date or two instead)
4 Medjool Dates, chopped
1/4 C. dried, shredded coconut

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Roll into balls. Serve. The taste reminded us of cookie dough when we were kids.

*You can make almond butter in the Vita-Mix by using 1 1/2 cups almonds, and a few tablespoons olive oil, enough to allow it to blend smoothly.

Vita-Mix method starting with raw almonds

Blend the following in the Vita-Mix until it looks like peanut butter:

1 1/2 C. raw almonds
1 t. Celtic Sea Salt
1 1/2 T. flax oil
1 1/2 T. walnut oil
Olive oil (1 to 4 T. to blend well)
1 T. Honey

Dump out onto a plate or bowl and add dates and coconut. Mix with your hands if needed:

4 medjool dates, chopped fine
1/4 C. dried, shredded coconut

Roll into small cookie balls and serve.
