Love minimalist baker in general.

These came out like little dark chocolate tender crumbly bombs of deliciousness. But not so crumbly that they didn’t hold together. Perfect.

https://minimalistbaker.com/fudgy-vegan-brownie-cookies/

I increased cocoa (used raw cacao) to 1/2 c, decreased coconut sugar to 1/4 c, subbed crystallized ginger for the dates, skipped the coconut oil, and increased walnuts to 1/2 c, plus more for topping. Also used a really good 100% cacao chocolate bar, chopped, instead of chips. Threw in some cacao nibs. Mixed dry ingredients including walnuts in food processor (extra walnuts added oil so that’s why I nixed the other.)

Decreased oven to 325 after burning the first batch. Used a silicone sheet instead of parchment the second go-round.

So basically I totally hacked up the recipe. Forgive me. It’s in my nature.

    Nice! I love someone who hacks a recipe. I do the same. I'll be skipping the sugar and oil, adding walnuts, and increasing the dates a bit. Num!

    These look great! I am vegan and use the minimalist baker for several recipes.

    Not that this is the minalmist baker, but I have made these bites a few times and they are quite good! The calories can add up with the nuts in them and dates, but they are delicious for a treat!
