Use a scooper and gloved hands to form the mixture into 12 balls. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to one week.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pulse, Don't Pulverize 🔄Use short 1-2 second pulses in your food processor rather than continuous blending to achieve the perfect texture—slightly chunky with some whole peanut pieces for authentic cookie-like consistency.
- Pit Your Dates Thoroughly 🫶Remove every date pit completely before processing; even one missed pit can damage your food processor blade and ruin the batch. Halve and inspect each date carefully.
- Toast Your Peanuts First 🥜Lightly toast raw peanuts in a dry skillet for 3-5 minutes before processing to intensify their flavor and create that authentic, deeper peanut butter cookie taste.
- Chill Before Rolling 🧊Refrigerate the processed mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls—this prevents sticking to your hands and makes shaping significantly easier while maintaining ideal firmness.
- Coat with Chocolate for Elegance 🍫Dip finished balls in melted dark or milk chocolate and let set on parchment paper to create a professional bakery-style finish that also improves texture contrast and shelf life.
