Ingredients
Cookie dough
- 100 g Verival almonds (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 100 g Verival walnuts
- 100 g Bircher Porridge
- 120 g Verival dates (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 1-2 tbsp Verival maple syrup
- 30 g cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling
- 200 g Verival cashew nuts (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- 100 g coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tbsp Verival maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla, ground
Preparation
-
For the dark 'cookie dough', add the almonds with the walnuts, the muesli mixture, the cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, and the dates to a food processor and mix until smooth.
-
Place the mixture on a piece of baking paper. Place a
second sheet of baking paper on top and roll out the mixture to about 0.5 cm in thickness.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. -
In the meantime, add the cashew nuts with the coconut flakes, coconut oil, vanilla, and maple syrup to the food processor and puree. Puree the mixture until it has a creamy consistency—possibly add some water.
-
Cut the cookie dough into round cookies with a diameter of approximately 4 cm. Knead the mixture together repeatedly and roll it out until it is used up. Then assemble the cookies by placing approximately 1 teaspoon of coconut filling on one cookie, placing a second one on top, and pressing firmly. Store the finished cookies in the refrigerator.
