Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Small Cookie Scoop
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1+½ Cups Almond Flour
  • ½ Cup Medjool Dates Make sure you remove the pit!
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • Dark Chocolate Chips My favorite dairy-free chocolate chips are Pascha, Hu Kitchen, and Enjoy Life!

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding medjool dates, coconut oil, and almond flour into a food processor. If you're adding salt and vanilla extract, you can add that in now as well!
  • Blend for a few minutes, scraping down the edges as needed until you reach a dough like consistency. You'll notice it will clump mostly into one big ball when it's ready!
  • Use a cookie scoop to place 12 even sized balls to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. They will not spread much, so you'll need to press them down into a disk shape. Optional, but I like topping them with chocolate chips!
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Notes

Expert Tips

  • For best results, I suggest using medjool dates. They're large and juicy which makes for a soft texture.
  • Check the inside of the dates to make sure they do not have black mold. (It's pretty common!)
  • Buy pitted dates to save time!
  • Blend the cookie dough mixture until it's a soft and sticky consistency.
  • Make sure you press the cookies down into a thick disc because they will not spread while baking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
To keep them fresh for longer, you can also store them in the freezer!
