    Ever have one of those days that you just can't seem to get anything done?  Like, you have a list a mile long but don't seem to make any progress on it.  This was me yesterday.  I had so many projects I could have been working on but such a hard time moving forward with any of them.  I mentioned to Sawyer that I was feeling bogged down and he said, "Just get in the kitchen and make something, it doesn't matter what it is."  Before he said that, I had actually already put the dates in the food processor and just left them there as I got distracted with other things.  I knew I wanted to make a few tweaks to this recipe--I just couldn't get myself to do it.

    I am glad he gave me that little extra push because these cookies were just what I needed to 1) get me out of my unproductive funk and 2) treat yo self.  Just a bit of chocolate seemed to make a world of difference in my mood and attitude.

    I used some bittersweet chocolate chips in this recipe but you can leave them out if you really don't want any refined sugar.  The rest of the ingredients are pretty standard--dates, almond butter, cocoa powder and an egg.  A sprinkle of kosher salt and that's it.
