    Directions

    1. . Place all the ingredients from PART-1 into a food processor. Pulse a few times and then whirl on MEDIUM speed until a mildly smooth texture is achieved. Place the mix into a large bowl. Then add the ingredients from PART-2 and fully combine. The texture should be quite dense. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour up to overnight.
    2. . Assembly: Pre-heat the oven to 375F and position rack on the 2nd level from the bottom. Prepare a large parchment lined baking pan.
    3. . Afterwards, remove the mix from the refrigerator. With the aid of an ice-cream scoop measure and densely pack 12 portions to then extract and roll to place onto the prepared pan.
    4. . BAKE them for the initial 15 minutes. Then, remove the pan from the oven to gently flip them over for the last 10 minutes.
    5. . Note: if not using them in another recipe right away, have them come to room temperature on the pan. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keeps up to 5 days.
    6. . Flavourful wishes from Claudia's kitchen...FOODESSA.com
