  • Cuisine: Universal
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ultra-fine blanched almond flour
  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (about 10 dates, tightly packed)
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
  • Optional: 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 2–3 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Place the pitted Medjool dates in a heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them soak for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  3. Drain the dates and press gently to remove excess water. Reserve a few tablespoons of the soaking liquid.
  4. Add the drained dates and almond flour to a food processor. Process for about 1 minute until a crumbly dough forms with no large date pieces.
  5. Test the dough. If too dry, add 1 tbsp of reserved date water and process again. If too wet, add 1–2 tbsp more almond flour.
  6. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions, roll into balls, and place on the baking sheet.
  7. Wet or oil your hands and press each ball into a cookie shape. Shape as desired since the cookies won’t spread.
  8. Bake for 8–12 minutes on the center rack until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for best results due to their moisture content.
  • Soaking the dates helps them blend more smoothly into the dough.
  • The cookies do not spread, so shape them before baking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
  • Add chocolate chips or spices for variety.
