How to Prepare Raw Spiced Orange Thumbprint Cookies [Vegan]

  1. In a food processor, start pulsing the almonds to a fine powder. Then add the almond butter, chopped dates, spices, stevia and a tiny bit of water and keep processing until it begins to resemble dough. You may not need to use up all the water depending on how good your blender/food processor is.
  2. Roll the dough into 12 golf-sized balls.
  3. With your thumb make a print in the centre, a little well if you will.
  4. Place all the cookies on a cookie sheet and set aside.
  5. Next, prepare the filling: Blend together the orange juice, zest, cashews and agave until smooth.
  6. Spoon a little filling in every cookie. You will have plenty of cream filling left, so you can save some to drizzle over ice cream or pudding.
  7. Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes, preferably a couple of hours, before you serve.
