1/2 Cup of Coconut Flakes for topping
Preparation:
In a food processor combine Almond Butter, Cashews, Dates, Oats, Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice and process for about 1 minute or until all ingredients are completey broken down and combined. *Be sure to scrape down the sides of your processor after about 30 seconds then continue processing. *The mixture should be thick and slightly crumbly but should stay together if you form a ball. Next scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture and form into the shape of a ball and gently press each ball into a cookie shape. Then press each cookie into the coconut flakes. That's it. The great thing about this recipe is that you can add whatever ingredients you like. Rasins, almonds, dry cherries or cranberries would taste absolutely amazing in these cookies.
