Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 0.75 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped Medjool dates and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy your Double Date Delight Oatmeal Cookies!
