For the Oreo cookie:
1. Place the nuts into a food processor, and pulse until they become a coarse flour.
2. Add in your dates, and pulse until well combined with the nuts!
3. Next, add in your maple syrup and carob powder, and pulse until it has all combined into a dough. The mixture should be sticky – if you find yours isn’t, add water one tablespoon at a time until it is.
4. Roll out the dough until it’s approximately half an inch thick, in between two sheets of greaseproof baking paper.
5. Using a biscuit cutter, cut your cookies to about 2 inches in diameter!
6. Place your cookies in the fridge while you make the delicious filling!

For the raw peanut butter:
1. Place the peanuts into a food processor and pulse for about a minute, until they break into very small pieces.
2. Scrape the sides of your food processor and pulse again for about a minute until they have broken into tiny pieces. Repeat until they begin to clump together, like cookie dough!
3. Add the salt and peanut oil and pulse again until it becomes a smooth, creamy peanut butter. Spread the cream evenly onto the bottom cookie, and then spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top of the cream, before placing another cookie on top! Gently push down, and do the same for all of the cookies you’ve made. Place in the freezer for two hours, then get prepared for a real treat!
