Preparation Steps:
Soak the Dates: Start by placing the dates in a bowl and topping them up with cold water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes. This will make them softer and easier to blend, providing the natural sweetness and binding needed for our cookies.
Chop the Nuts: While the dates are soaking, take your roasted cashews, almonds, and walnuts and chop them into medium-sized pieces using a knife. This will add a delightful crunch to your cookies.
Combine Seeds and Nuts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts with the pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Mix them well to ensure an even distribution of all the ingredients.
Blend the Dates: After soaking, drain the water from the dates and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until you achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency. This will act as the “glue” for your cookies.
Mix Everything Together: Pour the date paste into the bowl with your nut and seed mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are well-coated with the date paste.
