Description

Crispy, chewy and subtly sweet refined-sugar free cookies. These almond and date cookies are the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's. Or make them whenever you like, they're just that good!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Rolled oats, ground into a fine flour
  • ½ cup Almond flour
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Cardamom
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon
  • 7 pitted Coachella's Best Medjool Dates
  • 3 Tbsp Grape seed oil
  • 1 Tbsp Almond milk
  • ¼ tsp Almond extract
  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Begin by soaking the pitted medjool dates in boiling water for 5 minutes. While the dates soak, combine the oat flour, almond flour, salt, cardamom, cinnamon and baking powder. Make sure there are no lumps and everything is combined. 
  3. Drain the water from the dates and add in the grape seed oil and almond extract. Mash the dates together with the oil to make a paste. Mix in the almond milk and stir to combine. 
  4. Add the wet into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or with your hands until it creates a sticky dough. 
  5. Roll the dough into 1 Tbsp balls and gently flatten with your hand, and indent the middle with your thumb. Place a raspberry or raspberry jam in the middle and bake the cookies in the oven for 12-14 minutes. 
  6. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before enjoying!
