Directions

  1. Place the cashews, palm/coconut sugar, flaxseeds, and salt in your spice grinder or food processor, and whiz into a powder.Dump the cashew mixture into a small to medium-sized bowl and drizzle in the coconut oil, honey or agave, and vanilla. Stir well to combine and incorporate everything as evenly as possible.Stir in the chocolate chunks or chips to evenly distribute.Shape the dough into sixteen (more or less) balls, and flatten them gently onto a sheet or pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
