Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Medjool dates
• 0.5 cup Almond milk
• 1.5 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 cup Vegan dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Add 1.5 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 4

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 5

Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on prepared baking sheets.

Step 6

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 7

To make the caramel, blend 1 cup pitted Medjool dates and 1/2 cup almond milk in a food processor until smooth.

Step 8

In a medium saucepan, combine the date mixture with 1.5 cups shredded unsweetened coconut. Cook over low heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Spread a spoonful of the date-coconut mixture over each cooled cookie.

Step 10

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of vegan dark chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth.

Step 11

Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper.

Step 12

Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the top of the cookies using a spoon.

Step 13

Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
