Mint cookies

For the people who know me, they would most likely know that I'm a huge, huge fan of everything with mint. So when I browsed through http://fastpaleo.com on Friday picking out what I was going to make over the weekend, I was very excited when I found the recipe for these mint cookies. Sure they're not mint slices but then again these are not packed with processed sugar.

Ingredients
makes about 12
240 ml walnuts
240 ml pitted dates
240 ml shredded coconut
1 tsp peppermint extract
1 tbsp maple syrup
100 g 70% dark chocolate

Put the walnuts in a food processor and chop until a fine meal is made. Add the dates to the food processor until they are all chopped finely.Add the remaining ingredients and mix until it's all combined.

Roll in to balls and flatten into biscuits. Place on a lined baking tray and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.

After the 15 minutes, melt the chocolate in a small but deep bowl. Using a fork dip the biscuits into the chocolate and put back on the tray. Put back in the freezer until the chocolate is set. Store in the fridge.
