Oatmeal Date Cookies
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2
Whisk together the oats, flour, powder, and soda in a bowl and set aside.
3
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy.
4
Add in the dry ingredients and beat until combined with the butter and sugars – dough will be crumbly.
5
With the stand mixer on medium-low, pour in the almond milk. Beat only until a dough has formed – about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Fold in the chopped dates and chocolate.
6
Scoop and roll into 2 tablespoon balls and set in the fridge for 15 minutes.
7
Place dough balls 2 inches apart and bake for 14-16 minutes*, until golden around the edges.
8
Allow to cool on a wire rack and ENJOY!
Notes
1
*Don’t bake them more than this. Mine usually have this dough, slightly under baked look in the middle after about 15 minutes but they don’t need to bake any longer than 16 minutes. Once they cool, they set and are PERFECT!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Oats First 🥣Lightly toast the old-fashioned oats in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to deepen their nutty flavor and add complexity to your cookies.
- Chill Your Dough 🧊Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies with better texture.
- Chop Dates Into Uneven Pieces ✂️Cut some dates into small bits and leave others in larger chunks to create varied bursts of sweetness and prevent the cookies from becoming too dense.
- Use Room Temperature Vegan Butter 🧈Ensure your vegan butter is softened to room temperature and cream it properly with both sugars for 2-3 minutes to incorporate air and create a lighter cookie crumb.
- Bake Slightly Underdone for Optimal Texture 🍪Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the center still looks slightly underbaked; they'll continue cooking on the baking sheet and stay wonderfully chewy inside.
