Prepare and Blend Ingredients
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper that's been lightly greased. Soften the dates by soaking them in hot water for about 6 to 10 minutes, then drain off the water. In a food processor, combine the dates, almond pulp, oats, almond milk, almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla, cacao nibs, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Blend everything until it comes together into a dough-like consistency, adding a splash of water if it feels too dry.

Shape and Bake Cookies
Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it between your hands, then pinch the sides to shape it into a little square. Place each cookie on the baking sheet and press down gently with your fingers or a fork to flatten them a bit. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the cookies turn a nice golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Melt and Drizzle Chocolate
Once cooled, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies for that perfect finishing touch. Enjoy!
