Ingredients

• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
• 0.5 cup boiling water
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.75 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the pitted Medjool dates in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let soak for about 10 minutes until softened.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the rolled oats and stir until combined.

Step 4

Once the dates are soft, drain and place them in a food processor or blender. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, combine the date paste with the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Add the chopped walnuts and fold them into the dough.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Gently press each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten them slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a bit underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy the vegan chewy date cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
