Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. Combine all the ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor or high-powered blender. Process/blend until completely smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.

3. Drop by generous spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Flatten, then bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes. Gently transfer cookies to cooling rack and allow to cool. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge.


Note: Date sugar is essentially just dehydrated dates which are then ground to a powder, so it is still a whole food. These cookies can therefore be considered "sugar free".
