[Guest guest]

*Date-Filled Cookies *(BTVC)

4 cups nut flour

1/3 c butter, melted (I used coconut oil)

1/4 tsp baking soda ( I didnt put in)

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup honey

Mix all ingredients well. Roll into small balls. Place on greased cookie

sheet and press balls into flat cookies with the back of a buttered

teaspoon.

Bake 300o F. (150o C) golden brown

*What I did, was to lay down parchment paper on the counter and rolled out

the dough, then put it on a cookie sheet and divided it in two large pieces.

Baked it and then I put the dates on top then put the other half of dough on

top, kinda like a sandwich. then I cut into small squares. Really delish*

Filling:

1 pound pitted, chopped dates (medjool dates only)

1/3 cup water

Put dates and water ina covered oven-save saucepan and bake om tje pvem

imto; spft. Should be about 15 min in a 350o ovenF. Heat in oven until

thick, cool.Spread date filling between two cookies yum

*Almond Rocha*

1-1/3 cups butter

1 cup honey

2 cups roasted almond slices (275o for 15 minutes)

Cook butter and honey over the medium heat to " hard crack " temp 300o

Add the almonds, stirring over heat for 1 minute

Pour onto buttered cookie sheet Refrigerate, to cool. Crack

I put on parchment paper and then buttered

This candy tasted like the inside part of a Heath Bar! careful, it is habit

forming

*

Here I put the Rocha in mini paper papers in a mini muffin tin. I really

like it much better, just enough to have a treat but you dont have to look

at the huge pieces.

*

*After all cooked , I put them in mini muffin tins with the mini papers, and

it worked really nice. I like using the coconut oil instead of butter.*

*PEANUT BUTTER CARAMELS*

4 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter if using dairy)

1 cup honey

4 teaspoons vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup nut butter

In a saucepan, bring butter, honey, vanilla, salt to the simmer stage and

cook for 15 minutes. Add peanut butter and stir and simmer five minutes.

Pour into a buttered loaf pan and freeze until just till hard enough to

slice with a buttered spatula. Cut them in small squares,wrap in pieces of

waxed paper cut to size. Store them in the fridge.

Tip: Use Pyrex loaf pan

*Macaroons*

- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut

- 1/2 cup unsweetened chopped dates

- 1/2 c chopped walnuts ( I didnt use)

- 1/2 cup honey or more to taste

- 1/2 cup almond flour (adjusted)

- 1/8 tsp salt

- 1 egg beaten

- almond extract

Mix all together put on parchment paper Adjust the flour so that dough has a

cookie dough consistency. I mean that you can take a spoonful and it holds

together well.

Dont over cook, you wan them very moist int he middle.

*So I dont eat them all in one day I find that it helps to put these

cookies in the freezer*, *as they are much more chewier which I like.*

*Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !*
