No Bake Oreo Cookies

walnuts (see nutrition link below, for substitutions) (120g)

and 1/3 cup pitted dates (I highly recommend Sunmaid, which are softer) (200g)

pure vanilla extract

plus 1/16 tsp salt

regular cocoa powder (or Dutch-processed for more of a “cookie” taste)

coconut butter or raw cashew butter (see nutrition link below, for substitutions)

optional: sweetener of choice, if a sweeter filling is desired
