⅔ cup raw cashews
2 Tbs. melted coconut oil
1 tsp. water
2 pitted dates
½ tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
¾ cup raw or rolled oats
For the Jam
½ cup mixed berries (I used strawberries, blueberries and raspberries)
3 Tbs. water
3 pitted dates
1 Tbs. chia seeds

Steps:

In a small food processor, pulse the dates a few times to get them chopped up a little. Then, add the cashews, coconut oil, water, dates and vanilla and grind for 2-3 minutes, until a thick (but still slightly granular) paste forms. Finally, add the sea salt and oats and pulse until combined and the "dough" is all stuck together. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the dough (pack it into the scoop tightly) into balls, using your hands to carefully pack the dough ball even more together then pressing an indentation into the middle for the jam. Place each cookie onto a cookie sheet covered with a piece of parchment. Place the molded cookies in the fridge for 2 hrs (or covered with plastic wrap overnight) to set up.
Make the Jam
In a small food processor, combine the berries, water and dates. Blend until almost smooth (a few small chunks is just fine). Then add the chia seed and pulse a few times. Add 1 tsp. of jam to each cookie then let them refrigerate for another hour. Enjoy!
