How to Prepare Chocolate Fudge Pine Nut Cookies [Vegan, Gluten-Free, Oil-Free]

Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the almond butter, flax, water, maple syrup, and vanilla and set aside.
Place the beans, cocoa, dates, almond flour, and baking soda in a food processor and pulse to combine.
Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until you have a smooth paste. It won’t look like cookie dough. It will be very thick, wet, and sticky.
Turn the mixture out into a bowl and fold in the pine nuts, leaving a handful out for decorating the tops of the cookies.
Using a small ice cream scoop (about 1 1/2-inches in diameter), portion the dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving about 2-inches in between each scoop.
With moist fingers, slightly flatten each cookie. You want them to be about 3/4-inch tall.
Add a few extra pine nuts to the tops and press them down slightly.
Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

Cool completely before serving.
