Happy hump day everyone! I’m super excited to share the recipe for these delicious, chewy raw vegan salted caramel cookie sandwiches. Made with no refined sugar, they definitely make for a delicious healthy plant-based treat. I nommed on them over the weekend to reward myself after a week of hard work! Since so many people requested this recipe, I wanted to quickly get it up here for you to enjoy.

These salted caramel cookie sandwiches are soft, chewy, and super delicious!

They’re naturally sweetened with Medjool dates and brown rice syrup. Normally, I like using brown rice syrup as a low glycemic sweetener, because it is sticky and has a texture similar to honey. It’s great as a binder, which is why I prefer it over maple syrup for cookies. The date caramel is very simple to make. If you have leftovers, you can store it in a tupperware and use it as a snack or in these energy balls.

Actually, I adapted these cookies from my raw vanilla oat cookies and sandwiched them together with the best date caramel ever. If you try making these, please share with me on Instagram or in the comments below and let me know.

I added a little salt in to elevate the caramel and viola!
