Place the pitted medjool dates into a food processor and pulse until they form a sticky paste-like consistency. If the dates are hard or dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes beforehand and drain well.
Add the rolled oats, almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture is well-combined and comes together into a dough-like texture.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly to form cookie shapes.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Serve the cookies chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
