To soften the dates, put them in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Leave them in the liquid for around 15 minutes. This will make them smoother and easier to mix, giving the natural sweetness and sticking together that our cookies require.
Cut the nuts: While the dates are getting soft in water, chop your roasted cashews, almonds, and walnuts into medium-sized pieces with a knife. This will give your cookies a nice crispy texture.
Mix together the chopped nuts with the pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds in a big bowl. Stir them thoroughly to make sure all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Mix the dates: Once they have been soaked, remove the water from the dates and put them in a blender or food processor. Mix until you get a smooth, thick paste. This will help hold your cookies together.
Combine all the ingredients. Add the date paste to the bowl with the nuts and seeds. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything well until all the ingredients are covered with the date paste.
Form the cookies: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form small, round cookies by taking small amounts of the mixture. Put them on the baking tray, making sure there is some room between each cookie.
Cook the cookies in the oven that has been preheated for around 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Watch them closely to make sure they do not bake for too long.
Have fun and enjoy: After baking, take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool on a metal rack. Once they have cooled down, you can start enjoying them!
These cookies are great for a fast energy boost or a healthy dessert choice. They are sweetened with dates and full of nuts and seeds. Enjoy your tasty and nutritious cookies!
