Cashew Cookie Babies
...that's what I call them!

Anyhoo. These were my paleo "cookies" that I made for my neighborly cookie exchange this year. I diddrizzle them drench them (quite ungracefully) in melted semisweet chocolate, which was not a primal touch. And I actually wouldn't recommend it, either. I was trying to make them look prettier (which did not happen since I drenched them), and it kind of distracted from the intended taste of the cookie. So, what I'm saying is keep it simple. Don't bother with a chocolate drizzle over top.

Instructions:
1. Grind the cashew pieces in a food processor or blender until finely ground.
2. Roughly chop the dates with a knife. (Be sure the pits are removed.)
3. Add the dates and salt (if desired, I omit) to the food processor.
4. Blend all the ingredients together. (Or, squish everything together in a bowl with your hands - my preferred method.)
5. Form into balls or press into a pan and slice. Enjoy!
