Ingredients

1 cup pitted dates
1 cup shelled pistachios
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

If your dates are old and dry, place them in a heatproof container and pour boiling water over them. Let them soak for about 10 minutes in the hot water, then drain well. If your dates are super fresh, you can omit this step.
Add pistachios to a food processer and pulse about 10 times or until the pistachios resemble very coarse flour.
Add the dates to the coarse pistachios and process about 3 minutes or until everything sticks together and a ball forms inside the processor. The dough will be easily moldable and shouldn't stick to your fingers much.
Use a measuring spoon to make uniform size cookies (or not) and form half-moons or balls or flat circles or whichever shape you love.
Now you can eat them just like this OR....
Melt some chocolate and dip the pistachio cookies half or completely into the chocolate, then place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes for the chocolate to harden again.
Keep in the refrigerator for optimal freshness and eat within 4 days.
