3 Ingredient Cookie Bites

Happy Sunday Funday!

On the weekend I like to take time to prep food for the week. I usually make a big pot of quinoa, bake sweet potatoes, hard boil eggs, a big batch of granola or baked oatmeal for breakfasts and some kind of sweet treat/snack.

Lately, we have been on a cookie bite streak. Specifically, 3 ingredient cookie bites. Can’t. Get. Enough. I mean, really, who can get enough of a cookie? I ask my kids if they want a cookie and they’re all like WOOHOO! Cookie Time!

BUT…

These aren’t your average cookie.

Three ingredients.

No baking.

Done in less than 10 minutes.

BAM!

• 1 cup unsalted cashews
• 1 cup pitted dates or ½ cup pitted dates ½ cup unsulphured dried apricots
• 3 Tbsp chocolate chips or cacao nibs

1. Place cashews in food processor. Blend till in small pieces.
2. Add dates (and apricots if using). Blend till combined with cashews and in small pieces.
3. Take cashew/date mixture and place in a separate bowl.
4. Using wet hands, “stir” in chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
5. Take 1-2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a desired size ball.
6. May eat immediately or place in refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm.

If you like Larabars, you’ll love this. It’s such a versatile recipe. The possible add ins are endless. Dried cherries would be unbelievable. Yum yum! Here’s a few other similar recipes that you may be interested in:

While I was snapping pics of the finished cookies, I had three sets of eyes ready to pounce the minute I wasn’t looking. Two little hands actually made their way into the pics and grabbed a bite. Thankfully, Cooper did not make a move and just stood off to the side and drooled!

On to meal planning. Here’s what I’ve got planned for the week:

Sunday: Fish Tacos

Monday: Green Smoothies almond butter toast –> New work schedule has me working way later. Gotta keep it simple!

Tuesday: Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers

Wednesday: Thai Almond Noodles w/ Veggies Baked Broccoli Slaw Egg Rolls

Thursday: Grilled Chicken over massaged kale salads

Friday: Eggs Baked Over Sauteed Mushrooms and Spinach

Saturday: Ron’s Homemade Veggie Pizza

What are you having for dinner this week?
