These three-ingredient cookies’ natural sweetness comes from fiber-rich dates. Dates are placed in a blender with coconut flakes to create the base, which is then formed into cookies, frozen, dipped and drizzled with melted dark chocolate. These are a more wholesome, nutrient-dense alternative to the door-to-door sold cookies.
