Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and melted coconut oil. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the date mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and shape it into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Paleo Chewy Date Cookies with a hot beverage or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
