Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 5 Medjool Dates, pitted
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp sunflower seed butter (unsweetened Sunbutter recommended)
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Caramel Filling

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp sunflower seed butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Cup Dough: Combine all the base ingredients—raw almonds, shredded coconut, pitted Medjool dates, salt, sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract—in a food processor. Blend until the mixture starts to clump together into a sticky dough. This might take some time; be patient and keep blending until the dough holds its shape easily.
  2. Shape the Cookie Cups: Using a mini silicone muffin pan, scoop about one tablespoon of the dough into each slot. Use your fingers to press and shape the dough into small cups, ensuring the edges are raised to hold the filling later.
  3. Make the Caramel Filling: In a small bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and sunflower seed butter. Whisk or stir the mixture until smooth and creamy, forming a simple caramel-like filling.
  4. Fill the Cookie Cups with Caramel: Spoon about one teaspoon of the caramel mixture into the center of each cookie cup, filling them evenly.
  5. Top with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly between sessions to prevent burning. Once melted, mix in the tablespoon of sunflower seed butter until smooth. Pour or spoon this chocolate mixture on top of each cookie cup, leveling it so it is flush with the cookie base.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the chocolate and caramel to firm up, making the cookies easy to remove from the pan and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a mini silicone muffin pan to easily release the cookie cups after chilling.
  • Medjool dates provide natural sweetness and moisture—ensure they are soft for easier blending.
  • You can substitute sunflower seed butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
  • For vegan/vegetarian versions, verify the dark chocolate chips contain no dairy.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
