Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups pitted dates, chopped
• 0.75 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three parts, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped dates and milk chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set. Do not overbake.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these delicious Date Oatmeal Cookies with Milk Chocolate Chips! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
