Biscotti afghani senza cottura
Ingredienti
- 1 bicchiere Datteri Medjool - pitted (note 1) 5 ounces / 150g
- 2 cucchiai Burro di mandorle - (nota 2)
- 2 cucchiai Cacao in polvere non zuccherato
- 1 tazza cornflakes - (nota 3)
- 1 cucchiaino da tè Estratto di vaniglia
- 2 cucchiai Sciroppo d'acero - (nota 4)
guarnizione
- ⅓ bicchiere Gocce di cioccolato fondente senza lattosio
- ¼ cucchiaino da tè Olio d'oliva dal sapore delicato - (nota 5)
- 9 Walnuts Halves - (nota 6)
Istruzioni
- In a large glass bowl, add pitted Medjool dates. Cover with boiled water, set it aside for 5 minutes until the dates are soft.
- Drain, discard the water, and place the soaked dates in the bowl of a food processor.
- In the food processor add: almond butter, cocoa powder, cornflakes, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Blend on medium-high speed until it forms a batter that you can squeeze into your hand to form a ball. It will be sticky, but it shouldn't be too wet. If too wet, blend in a bit more cornflakes. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of water. Blend again until it forms a soft dough that you can easily roll.
- Lightly oil your hands with cooking oil spray, roll 9 balls of about 1 tablespoon each, and press them between your hands to form a flat cookie. Place each ball on a plate covered with parchment paper. Set aside in the fridge.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and oil, and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Bring back the cookies from the fridge, drizzle a little melted chocolate on top of each, and press a walnut in the center.
- Repeat until all cookies are decorated. Pop the plate in the freezer 10 minutes to harden the chocolate layer.

Alimentazione
Ingredienti e sostituzioni
Per preparare questa ricetta bastano pochi semplici ingredienti. Ecco come sceglierli e sostituirli.

- Datteri Medjool – These act as the primary sticky binder and natural sweetener. Medjool dates are naturally soft, but other date varieties work well if you soak them longer or add a splash of water.
- Burro di mandorle – This adds healthy fats and helps hold the dough together. Peanut butter or cashew butter are great swaps, and sunflower seed butter or tahini work perfectly for a nut-free version.
- Cacao in polvere non zuccherato – This provides the rich chocolate flavor essential to an Afghan cookie.
- cornflakes – These bring the classic crunch and texture associated with this traditional cookie. You must use certified gluten-free cornflakes if you need the recipe to be gluten-free, or you can use puffed rice or oats for a different texture.
- Estratto di vaniglia – This enhances the chocolate notes in the dough.
- Sciroppo d'acero – This adds a touch of extra sweetness and moisture to the batter. Agave syrup or coconut nectar are suitable liquid sweetener alternatives.
- Gocce Di Cioccolato Fondente – This creates the signature glossy icing on top of the cookie.
- Olio d'oliva dal sapore delicato – This helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives the icing a nice shine.
- Metà di noce – This is the traditional decoration for an Afghan biscuit. Pecans, almonds, or pumpkin seeds are good alternatives for the topping.

I consigli di Carine per la pasticceria
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect Afghan cookie.
- Adjust moisture slowly – The texture of your batter depends on the moisture content of your dates. If the dough is too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time until you get a sticky chocolate batter that rolls easily.
- Add crunch inside – For an extra nutty flavor and texture, pulse 1/3 cup of walnuts into the food processor mixture.







I’m a bit concerned that 360ml of cornflakes is the right amount. I’ve only added 40ml so far as I have a small processor and it doesn’t appear that there is enough mixture for the amount of cornflakes. I still have a massive bowl of cornflakes left.
The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup which is 42 grams of cornflakes.
A must try!!! So delicious and a keeper for a healthier treat!! Thank you
