Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1/4 cup oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, blend the chopped dates until they form a sticky paste.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, date paste, oats, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir until the dough is well combined. If it feels too sticky, refrigerate it for about 15 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, then flatten slightly with a fork or your fingers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop the dates by hand and mix them into the almond butter.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
- For a softer cookie, reduce the baking time slightly.
