Made today and turned into balls. Some I rolled in coconut and the others I dipped in dark chocolate. Very lovely thanks cookie but not sure which ones I like best.

Keep testing them Kimmy, you'll eventually decide by the time they're all gone  ;)

They look good Kimmy.

Yours look much better then mine, Kimmy.  Did you make your own almond butter?  I did and used about 190 gm of almonds and ended up with quite a bit of butter left over, so, for those making the butter I would guess at perhaps 140 gm of almonds (having said that, I believe my scales do not weigh true, but I think you would be safe with 140 gm).

I also used medjool dates and made the mistake of not pre-chopping them before adding them to the jug, my poor TMX struggled bravely, so I had to rescue it in the end and just poured everything into the tray but it was fine ... a bit chunky, but fine.  The end product tasted lovely, perhaps don't look nearly as well as everyone else's, but they are very nice nonetheless.

Yes I made my own almond butter using Julie's method and weighed half a cup which was around 120g.......I ate the rest 😁 my Tmx struggled too. Have noted to chop medjool dates with cashews next time.
