Pecan Pie Cookies

I have no idea where the original recipe for these came from.  It was one of those recipes that I randomly found on the internet one day and printed it off.  I’ve had it forever and have been meaning to try them.  This recipe I am posting I have adapted a bit from the original recipe and you can change it to fit your taste as you please.  These taste just like pecan pie Larabars!!

 

Ingredients:
3/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup almonds
1 cup pitted dates
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:
Put nuts in food processor and grind until it forms crumbs.  Add dates and cinnamon and pulse until it forms a consistency that will stick together.  (You may need to add a tsp of water if it’s not sticking together).

Form into balls (I got 14 of them, but you can do whatever size you want and make them bigger or smaller).

You could leave them in balls or smoosh them flat to look like a cookie (up to you).  Put them on some wax paper and pop into the freezer or fridge until they are firm.

Enjoy!
