1/2 cup packed medjool dates, pitted and chopped (about 5-6 large)
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
1-3 tablespoons water, as needed (see notes)
Directions:
add all of the ingredients into your food processor. pulse, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until everything is well combined. add extra water as needed to * get the mixture to come together (see notes, below).
wet hands and roll mixture into golf ball-sized cookie balls.
enjoy!
Notes:
I usually need 2-3 tablespoons of water to get the mixture to come together. It will depend on how dry your dates are. Add a bit at a time and wait till the mixture sticks to itself so you can roll it into balls.
It also helps to wet your palms with a little bit of water before rolling these up.
Store extra cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
