Recipe Directions
1. Soak the Brazil nuts overnight. Blend them with 4 cups of fresh water.
2. Strain through a nut milk bag and squeeze the bag firmly to remove excess liquid. Reserve the nut milk for another use. (It keeps for about 3 days and I like to blend about 3/4 cup with a frozen banana or two to make a wonderful banana shake.)
3. Soak dates in 1/2 cup water for 1 hour. Reserve soak water.
4. In a food processor, combine the nuts, soaked dates, almond butter, agave, nutmeg, and sea salt. Process until blended, adding one tablespoon at a time of soak water, into a batter. You will still see tiny bits of dates, but otherwise blend until fairly smooth.
5. Scoop out the dough into 12 small balls on your lined dehydrator tray. Place a finger indent in the middle of each.
6. Blend the strawberries and vanilla until smooth in the food processor.
7. Spoon a bit of the jam into each indent. Set aside any leftover jam.
8. Dehydrate at 105 Fahrenheit for 24-36 hours until they are firm and cake-like, removing the liner about half way through. As the cookies dry, spoon in more jam until it is all used or until the hole is nicely filled.
Notes:
Use soft dates for best results.
You can double the recipe, as these will disappear quickly; however I usually make them after I make nut milk, so I do a small batch.
Substitute almonds for Brazil nuts (although I can’t vouch for the cake-like texture if you do) and raspberries for strawberries, if you like.
Pam's Thoughts
By Pam This makes a wonderful, sweet cake-like cookie that will fool anyone into thinking it contains flour and butter.

I've thrown in almonds too when I was short on Brazil nut pulp. Glad you liked them!

Oops... I didn't mean to give the wrong impression. These don't taste like butter cookies, but the texture does remind me of cookies made with butter or some type of fat. They are probably closer to fig newtons, with strawberries instead of figs. But, I think you'll like them. They are super easy to make once you have the pulp. Brazil nuts have a bread-like taste to me so that's why I used them.

I just wanted to tell you Pam that I tried your recipe last week, and mixed the brazil nuts with almonds (cause I was short a few nuts), and those cookies were amazing! I shared them with my family and friends, but I actually ate 85% of them myself in a period of three days! Awsome! Thanks for the recipe...Happy holidays!

I was craving butter cookies last night, I'm making these today! I'm going to try with and without the strawberries. Thanks for the recipe. .
