Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Wash, deseed, and chop up the Medjool dates and place them in a bowl of freshly boiled water for 30 minutes. Drain and set them aside.
- Place your eggs, almond butter, dates, and olive oil into a bowl and mix until combined.
- Add all the dry ingredients, mix everything until thoroughly combined, and then fold the chocolate into the batter.
- Use a standard-size ice cream scoop to portion out 14 cookies.
- Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets and flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake the cookies one pan at a time in the oven for 12 minutes on the middle rack.
- You can top the cookies with extra chopped chocolate when they are still hot out of the oven.
- Let the cookies cool entirely before storing them in an airtight container.
Notes
Medjool Dates: If using dates smaller than those, I suggest doubling the quantity.
Flour: You can replace the flour in this recipe, but remember that einkorn flour is loaded with nutrition, which adds to the nutritional element of these delicious cookies. The einkorn flour is also naturally buttery in flavor.
