I love revising old favorites and making them healthy & delicious. This chocolate chip date cookie recipe is made with no grains & no refined sugars or fats.

Ingredients

  • 12 dates, pitted
  • 1 cup walnuts or pecans
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon seasalt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Blend dates and walnuts in a food processor until finely ground. (It might start to form a paste, but conversely, don’t worry if it’s a little chunky.)

  2. 2

    Add egg, vanilla, salt and soda and blend to combine.

  3. 3

    Fold in chocolate chips.

  4. 4

    Spoon onto parchment covered cookie sheets.

  5. 5

    Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes. You want them to just turn golden and yet still be soft in the middle. Let cool before serving.
