Sour on Sweets?: 7 Better-for-You Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted almonds
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

Notes: Yields 12-15 small cookies

Directions:
In a food processor, blend almonds until they are ground into a coarse meal.

Add remaining ingredients and blend until it comes together in a moist crumb. (If it's not sticky enough to hold together when you pinch it, add a bit more peanut butter).

Roll dough into balls a little smaller than golf balls. Press the tops with a fork twice (once going east/west and once north/south) to flatten.

Refrigerate about 30-60 minutes, until firm. Devour! less
