Olga's Chocolate Salty Balls (don't ask)
1 cup of nuts (I use walnuts)
2 cups of dates (medjool are the best, make sure they are pitted or you pit them!)
4 tblsp cocoa powder
a pinch of salt
tsp vanilla extract
- Process the nuts until powdered
- Add the cocoa powder, salt and vanilla
- Add nuts gradually (while processing)
- If it does not stick together add water by the spoonful, not too much
- Roll into balls and roll the balls in cocoa powder (I like the bitter cocoa powder on the outside but others may not, a sweetened chocolate powder may be preferable or you can use desicated cococnut or anything you like really!)

Egg free cookies (if you use vitalite and dairy free chocolate chips then they are vegan!)
12oz Self Raising Flour
8oz Soft Margarine
8oz Caster Sugar
2oz dark chocolate chips
-Mix the ingredients together in a big bowl. IT shouldn't be at all crumbly so add a bit more margarine if it is
-Take a small ball of dough (about the size of 1.5 ping pong balls) and squeeze it so it's a circle about 1.5cm thick
-Place on a greased tray, makes about 16-22 cookies so will require 2 trays
-Cook for about 15 mnutes at 180 degrees
Variations:
sub some of four for cocoa powder to make chocolate cookies.
Put raisins, chocolate beans, or white chocolate drops instead of the dark chocolate drops.

Hmm... Mine was sent to me by a friend ages and ages and ages ago - but it uses brown sugar, not castor.. And you can substitute the choc for raisins or something and some mixed spice....
