Place all ingredients in a food processor, sprinkling the spices evenly around the processor bowl.

Process the date mixture until it reaches your desired consistency (from a bit chunky and chewy to silky-smooth), scraping the bowl once or twice if needed.

With very slightly dampened hands (to prevent sticking), roll the date mixture into 1-inch balls and lay the balls on parchment or wax paper to dry.

These date balls are a great make-ahead treat because they refrigerate and freeze very well. We prefer eating these at room temperature.
