German Chocolate Freezer Cookies

In case you didn’t know (like I didn’t), dates are one crazy super-food. Not only are they full of vitamins and minerals, they’ve been used through the centuries for their health benefits, the most popular being fighting off abdominal cancer.
Keep in mind that even though dates contain vital nutrients, they are still a form of sugar. So, just like everything, it's easy to go overboard on something that is healthy. If you are dealing with chronic illness or metabolic issues, you will want to keep your sugar intake to a minimum.
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
1 banana
15 pitted dates
¼ c. coconut oil
1 c. shredded coconut
Coating
¼ c. coconut oil
¼ c. honey
¼ c. cocoa powder
1 t. vanilla
dash of sea salt
Instructions
Cookie Dough
Place all ingredients in blender and pulse until you reach a smooth-slightly-chunky texture.
Flatten tablespoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet with the back of a spoon until about ½ inch thick.
Place in the freezer while preparing the coating.
Coating
Melt coconut oil over low heat.
Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.
Dip/drizzle over frozen cookie dough until completely covered.
Place back in the freezer until coating is hardened.
