ALMOND TAHINI DATE BALLS
Very Middle Eastern and very tasty. A somewhat sophisticated brunch treat if you will, and would also make awesome finger food for tea or a dinner party. Especially if it's one of those where the meal is light but hors d'oeuvres are heavy. And can you believe this awesome treat is healthy and vegan? I couldn't! For some ideas, try a mix of Chinese red dates (I used 100%) with traditional dates. Put in a dash of ground pistachio and/or cardamom, how about a teensy bit of honey? There's a lot more I plan on doing with that huge thing of almonds I bought at BJ's. Found on the internet somewhere, don't remember where. If this is your recipe or you know where it came from, just drop me a line so I can give credit where it is due.

Steps:
- Combine butter, sugar, and 1 cup of flour, using sturdy wooden spoon or mixer with dough hooks.
- Add eggs and mix in thoroughly.
- Gradually work in the remaining flour, until dough will roll into balls without being sticky.
- Roll into one or two-bite size balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet, or silicone baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
- Cool on cookie sheet before moving cookies to sheets of waxed paper. Space the cookies at least 1/2" apart on the waxed paper so you don't have to move them to put icing on them.
- Combine icing ingredients and stir until smooth.
- The icing should be runny enough to drop from a knife onto the cookies, but thick enough that it doesn't all run off. The icing will thicken as it sits. Add more water if needed.
- To ice, leave the cookie on the waxed paper, and drop enough icing onto it to cover the top and drip down the sides a bit. While the icing is still wet, you can add little drops of icing to ensure coverage.
- Try not to have too much icing ending up on the waxed paper, or you may not have enough for the whole batch.
- Let the icing dry before placing in shallow storage containers, in a single layer.

Steps:
- 1. TOAST ALMONDS IN A SKILLET: Heat nuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and they give off a rich, toasty fragrance. Watch them closely when using this method as it's easy to burn them. Stir nuts frequently for even toasting. Remove from pan to cool.
- 2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals until it is melted and smooth when stirred.
- 3. In a medium bowl add the following ingredients:
- 4. Measure 2 ¾ cups of flaked coconut
- 5. Add 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 6. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 7. ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8. a pinch of salt
- 9. Stir to combine. I use a potato masher . Just a few mashes and the dough-like mixture is ready to form into balls.
- 10. Make the balls by hand, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the balls and insert an almond inside until it is hidden.
- 11. Then roll the balls in the melted chocolate.
- 12. Place the chocolate covered balls on a plate lined with parchment paper in the fridge until chilled, then transfer to an air-tight container to store. Separate layers with wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
- 13. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use blanched almonds for a smoother texture and whiter color.
- Soak the almonds in hot water for 15 minutes to soften them and make them easier to grind.
- Use a food processor to grind the almonds until they are very fine.
- Add a little bit of almond extract to the mixture for a more intense almond flavor.
- Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming it into balls, this will help the balls hold their shape.
- Roll the balls in chopped nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder for a variety of coatings.
- Store the almond balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Almond balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover almonds, and they make a perfect snack or dessert. With their sweet and nutty flavor, almond balls are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy sweet treat, give almond balls a try!
