Low-Sugar Date Cookies
You can make these ahead of time and in any oven including an apartment oven. And enjoy.
Ingredients
- coconut flour and plain flour combined
- a few pats of butter (or coconut oil)
- chopped dates
- water as needed
- orange zest and cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare and chop dates filling. Tip: since dates are sticky, it's easier to use a serated chopping knife with edges. Add cinnamon and orange zest if you'd like more Vata sweetness.
- Mix cookie ingredients: flour, butter or oil, and water as needed to make a cohesive cookie dough disc. You can make this in advance and freeze the dough if you like.
- When dough is slightly cooler than room temperature is the ideal temperature to work with this dough. Roll out cookie dough to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick (doesn't have to be too thin).
- Add date filling to center of dough.
- Roll up and cut into small, even pieces.
- Bake on 350°F for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
