Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients together in large bowl.

Step 3

Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well.

Step 4

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Stir in the dates by hand.

Step 5

Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a 1/4 cup measure or standard size ice cream scoop, drop dough balls onto the baking sheet about 1 inch apart. (These don't change shape very much once baked, so if you want flatter, rounder cookies, be sure to flatten them before baking.)

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and starting to brown. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
