In a food processor, process peanuts until very fine.

Add in dates, peanut butter, vanilla and salt and process until a dough starts to form.

Roll into balls and then press a hole into the ball with thumb. Then press to flatten the cookie.

Place on plate or parchment lined dish.

In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients for the chocolate filling together.

Spoon the chocolate into the thumbprint holes of each cookie. If you use the extra 2 tsp. of cacao, this will be spreadable as well like a frosting.

Let chill for about 20-30 minutes so chocolate can set.

Enjoy!
