Soak nuts in warm water and a pinch of sea salt overnight (or at least 6 hours). Drain and rinse a few times before blending.
Remove the pits from dates and chop them up roughly *
Pulse nuts, pumpkin puree, dates and pumpkin spice in a food processor until finely blended and gooey in consistency.
Blend in 3 tbsp of coconut flour until smooth **. Scrape the wall of the food processor a few times.
Fold in Cacao Nibs if using any.
Leave "dough” in the fridge or freezer for about 20 minutes to chill (preventing the dough from sticking to hands or cookie scoop).
Use a cookie scoop or hand to make cookie dough into 12 balls.
Sprinkle with extra pumpkin spice. Freeze, ENJOY!

**If the dough is too loose/wet, add 1 - 2 tablespoon of coconut flour until the consistency becomes "dough" like nut still slightly soft. Coconut flour can help reduce moisture. Refrigeration will also help firm up the texture.
Add more or less dates depending on your sweet preference.
For Keto Option: replace the Medjool dates with 3-4 tbsp of keto-friendly liquid sweetener. Decrease the coconut flour amount to 1 - 2 tbsp
**Originally, the recipe uses soaked dates which are much softer. I have modified it to unsoaked dates which result in a more gooey and less mushy texture.
