Ingredients:

2/3 cup cashews (I use raw, unsalted, whole from Trader Joe’s)
1/3 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 cup soft, moist medjool dates, pitted and loosely packed (I used 20 medium dates)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 to 4 tablespoons agave nectar, or as necessary (maple syrup, honey, yacon, or corn syrup may be substituted but all impart more flavor than agave)
sprinkles for dredging, optional (many brands are inherently vegan)

Directions:

1. To the canister of a food processor or Vita-Mix (I prefer my food processor for this job), add the cashews, cocoa powder, and blend to pulverize into fine crumbs, about 15 seconds. Do not over-process because you will make chocolate-cashew butter very quickly.
2. Add the dates, vanilla, and process until mixture begins to combine. It’s likely the mixture will be sandy, coarse and not combining. As necessary to get it to combine, add agave, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing to incorporate after each addition.
3. You’ll know the consistency is right when the dough combines into a softball-sized mound and the mound travels around the canister in one big ball. It will still be tacky and sticky, but it shouldn’t be wet and sloppy. Dough that resembles the consistency of nut butter is too runny and loose and dry ingredients must be added to help it solidify. Add a tablespoon or two more cocoa powder or cashews, as necessary, to dry out the dough. Dough that’s too pebbly, dry, or sandy will benefit from anther couple dates or tablespoon of agave, as necessary, to moisten it.
4. Transfer dough to a plate or bowl, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 1 week, before rolling into balls. Dough that’s warm is difficult to work with; it’s stickier, messier, and it leaves a chocolate paste-like layer on your hands. Wait until it’s chilled before pulling off small hunks and rolling between palms until smooth. Work quickly because the warmer the dough gets, the harder it is to roll. I roll the balls about 3/4-inch in diameter, up to 1-inch.
5. Optionally, dredge balls through sprinkles. This has the added benefit of absorbing some of the tackiness or stickiness of the dough.
6. I prefer the bites chilled and store them in the refrigerator. Bites will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for many weeks, or in the refrigerator for many months, or in the freezer for 6+ months.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup dairy free butter melted
• 1 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy
• 2 cups powdered sugar organic
• 12 ounce semi-sweet chocolate package

Instructions

1. Mix the melted non dairy butter and the peanut butter together.
2. Work in the powdered sugar.
3. It will be pretty stiff but that is good.
4. Make into 48 balls. I divide the dough in half - then each half into half - and so on until you get 48 little chunks. Then I roll them in the palms of my hands and place in a large bowl.
5. Refrigerate for about an hour.
6. Put a piece of waxed paper on a baking sheet. I cut the piece to fit inside the pan so that it lays flat.
7. Melt the chocolate over a hot water bath or in a double boiler.
8. Take the peanut butter balls out of the fridge and work with about 6 at a time. Put the unused balls back in the fridge while you are working.
9. Roll each ball in the chocolate and pick up with two forks. Swipe the bottom of the ball against the top rim of the bowl as you lift out so you don't get a blob of chocolate, under the ball on the wax paper. Lay on the wax paper on the cookie sheet.
10. When all the balls are finished place the pan in the refrigerator (or freezer) to harden up. About an hour.
11. You can place each ball in a mini paper cup for looks or just pile in a stack.

Recipe Notes

I keep them in the refrigerator because the chocolate can get 'melty' here in the desert. If your house if coolish you can leave them out. You can even store them in the freezer and they will be ready to eat within a half an hour of removing.

VEGAN FOR EVERYBODY – America’s Test Kitchen

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 1/3 cups packed (9 1/3 ounces) organic light brown sugar

½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled

6 tablespoons water, room temperature

1/3 cup unsalted creamy almond butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ¼ cups (7 ½ ounces) semisweet vegan chocolate chips or chunks

1 – Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in bowl.  Whisk sugar, melted oil, water, almond butter, and vanilla in large bowl until well combined and smooth.  Using rubber spatula, stir flour mixture into oil mixture until just combined, fold in chocolate chips.

2 – Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for a least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.  (Dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before portioning.)

3 – Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.  Divide dough into portions (1, 2, or 3 tablespoons per cookie depending on how many cookies you want) then arrange dough mounds 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.

4 – Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until light golden and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking.  Let cookies cool completely on sheet.  Serve.  (Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.)

Why This Recipe Works.  When it came to developing a vegan version of the classic chocolate chip cookie, we’d settle for nothing less than perfection.  The recipe had to produce a cookie that would be moist and chewy on the inside and crisp at the edges, with deep notes of toffee.  We started by baking 11 popular recipes, and we were shocked at the assortment of hockey pucks in front of us.  Some cookies didn’t spread at all, while others melted into greasy wafers; some tasted like cardboard, while others had funky off-flavors; and some were gelatinous, while others crumbled apart.  We had our work cut out for us.  Starting with the test kitchen’s classic recipe, we removed the egg and found that we simply didn’t need a substitute for it.  While many cookie recipes call for a mix of white and brown sugars, we opted to use all brown; it gave the cookies a richer flavor and its moisture provided a softer center.  But tasters wanted more chew.  As it turned out, to achieve a chewier cookie, we had to leave it alone.  Letting the mixed dough rest for 1 to 4 hours (no longer) gives the proteins and starches in the flour a jump-start at breaking down; meanwhile, the sugar dissolves, hydrates, and later retains this moisture better during baking, preventing the cookie from becoming brittle.  Lastly, the surprising addition of a little almond butter added the toffee-like richness that butter typically provides a cookie.  Not all semisweet chocolate chips are vegan, so check ingredient lists carefully.  Use processed almond butter for the best texture; natural almond butter will make the cookies too greasy, and they will spread too much.

1 cup natural peanut butter

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup cacao powder

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1 cup  old-fashioned / rolled oats

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (make sure they’re vegan - a good choice is Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)

Preheat the oven to 325 °F and prepare a baking sheet with a non stick mat or a piece of parchment paper.

1. Using a hand mixer, mix all the ingredients through salt together in a large bowl. Add in the chocolate chips.
2. Using a 1 tbsp measuring spoon, scoop out tablespoons of dough and place about 1" apart on the prepared baking sheet. They will not spread very much.
3. Bake for 12 minutes or until the surface no longer appears wet. When you remove them from the oven, they'll be very soft but will firm up as they cool.
4. Store in an airtight container for up to one week

Preheat oven to 350.

In large blown combine all ingredients

Add more non dairy milk if needed

Roll in to balls and flatten on cookie sheet. Use parchment paper or non stick mat

Bake for 13-15 minutes
