Date Sweetened Chocolate Chip Cookies

eggs

oil (i use avocado oil)

tsp vanilla extract

old fashioned rolled oats

cinnamon

tsp baking soda

white whole wheat flour

chocolate chips (or dried fruit of choice)

Place chopped dates in a food processor and process until finely chopped.

Add eggs oil and vanilla and process for 1 min.

Add oats, cinnamon and baking soda and process until oats are chopped.

Add chocolate chips and pulse a few more times.

Great recipe. I cut the dates down to 1/2 cup as I like less-sweet cookies than most people, used olive oil, and used 70% dark chocolate (hand-chopped bits as 70% chips are hard to come by) and they turned out superb. Absolutely loved the texture - soft but not gummy 

My kids love these cookies!  I sometimes substitute out some or all of the oil with banana or the flour with almond flour. Always a favorite! Best of all the recipes for chocolate chip cookies I have found online. Thank you!

Hi Lindsey! Do you think I could sub the whole wheat flour for all purpose, coconut or oat? That´'s all I've got right now! 

Thanks

SO delicious! I love these warm with a little ice cream. :) I used grapeseed oil, because that’s all I had!

Love these cookies for all 3 kids! I use rice cereal instead of flour to up the iron and add hemp seeds too. Have used white chocolate chips before and they were amazing!

These were so good! Just the right amount of sweetness. I added 1 cup of dates because that's what I had and then added more whole wheat flour at the end to make the batter thicker. They still turned out perfectly.

Made these today with my 4 year old daughter. Very simple recipe to follow. We used low fodmap white flour and the mix seemed very runny, however we gave it a go and they turned out great. Soft and chewy. My daughter loves them.

Fantastic recipe! I love the short list of nutritious ingredients. Easy to make and full of flavor.

Very good, turned out perfect! Just enough sweetness, chewy all around great texture. I will definitely make these again.
Thank you for the great recipe

Hi Lindsay,
   Just to report back, the flax eggs worked perfectly.  Also, we like the cookies out of the freezer even more.   Thanks for a great recipe.

So happy to find this recipe.  I'm cutting out refined sugars and thought I'd never be able to have desserts again until it dawned on me that maybe there were recipes out there that used fruit for a sugar substitute.  This is the first one I've tried and, if the rest are as good as this one, I won't miss processed sugar at all!
