Remember those snowball cookies you used to eat every Christmas as a kid? Little chocolate cookies coated in powdered sugar to look like snow?
Yeah me too! To be honest they weren’t my favorite flavor, even though I loved the look. So I decided to recreate them, “Health by Haven-ified”, and I must say, they’re amazing!
Roll these up for your next holiday gathering, or prep a batch to have in the fridge as a healthier dessert or little afternoon pick me up!
Ingredients
- 1 c medjool dates (make sure they’re really soft!)
- 1-2 tbs of hot water
- 1 c walnuts
- 1/3 c cocoa powder
- 1/4 c shredded coconut
- 1/4 c tart cherries
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Process the medjool dates and hot water in the food processor until blended and sticky paste forms.
- Add all other ingredients. Process until well combined, stopping to stir as needed.
- If the paste isn’t sticking together, add a bit more hot water.
- Form into little balls.
- Roll in shredded coconut.
- Top with sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle with melted chocolate. Enjoy!
- Pro tip! You can make these multiple ways. Try topping with flaky sea salt or dipping in melted chocolate, too!
