Pit the dates and leave them to soak for a few minutes in a cup of water
I was too mean to buy expensive almond meal, so I put the almonds and cashews in a paper bag on a heavy chopping board, and bashed with a rolling pin until they were almond completely ground down. If you have almond meal - you're done!
Put the date mixture into a blender and pulse until the mixture is consistent, then add in the ground nuts and strawberries. Add in the vanilla and cacao and blend until it's thoroughly mixed and smooth.
Spoon onto a dehydrator sheet and flatten with the back of the spoon to make the cookie shapes.
I dehydrated at 145 degrees for about 20 hours, but keep checking as you may prefer a different texture.
