Better-for-You Peanut Butter Cookies

* 1 cup of raw almonds or almond flour
* 1/2 cup of organic, fresh peanut butter (or almond butter)
* 1 cup pitted medjool dates
* 1 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract
* ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 handful of cacao nibs (optional)

Combine almonds, nut butter, dates, cinnamon and vanilla in a food
processor and blend until a dough-like texture is achieved (a couple
of minutes). Add more nut butter if necessary to make the dough
stickier.

Optional: Add cacao nibs and process on pulse for 15-20 seconds to break them up a little but still leave some whole.

Form into small balls and use a fork to press down and create a crisscross pattern. 

Store in refrigerator (better the next day!).
