Preheat oven to 350.
Drain the dates in the water.
In a small blender combine the dates, sea salt and 2 T new water and mix until a caramel starts to form. If you need to add a little extra water, that is okay.
In a food processor, mix the cashew butter, vanilla and baking powder together.
Add the caramel to the cashew butter mixture and pulse a few times.
Lastly add the chocolate chips and pulse a few more times.
Drop cookies onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 9-10 minutes.
Wait until the cookies are completely cooled before removing them from the baking sheet.
Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for longer.
