👩🍳 Instructions:
- Soften the Dates:
Soak the pitted dates in warm water for 5–10 minutes if they’re dry, then drain and blend into a paste. - Chop the Nuts & Seeds:
Roughly chop the almonds, peanuts, and pumpkin seeds. You can toast them lightly in a dry pan for extra flavor (optional). - Combine Ingredients:
In a bowl, mix the date paste, cranberries, oats, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and honey. Stir well to form a sticky, chunky dough. - Shape the Cookies:
With damp hands, shape small balls or flatten slightly into cookie shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined tray. - Chill the Cookies:
Refrigerate the cookies for 20–30 minutes to firm up. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate with olive oil over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in short bursts in the microwave. - Coat or Drizzle:
