These 10-minute no-bake chocolate chip cookie dough date balls are made with Medjool dates, walnuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and flaked salt.

Servings:

In a food processor, add the pitted dates, walnuts, and sea salt. Blend on high until fully combined.
Pour the date and nut mixture into a bowl. Add the chocolate chips. Mix with your hands to combine everything.
Measure out the date nut dough using a cookie scoop. Roll the mixture in between your hands. Lay the balls on a flat surface. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt.

Storage: Store the cookie dough date balls in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Don't freeze the date balls because the texture will change.
Substitute pecans, almonds, or pistachios for walnuts.
Variations:
- Toasted coconut. Roll the balls in toasted coconut flakes. Using a baking pan, spread some shredded sweetened coconut flakes evenly on the pan. Bake at 375 ℉ (190 ℃) for about 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Allow the toasted coconut to cool. Roll the date balls in the toasted coconut.
- Cocoa powder. In a small bowl, add about 3 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Roll the date balls in the cocoa powder. Gently shake the balls to discard the extra cocoa powder.
- Experiment with different nut combinations.
