Date Nut Cinnamon Cookies

This cookies are not your standard flour and sugar dessert. For sweetener they use dates (more about dates). Instead of flour, I use walnuts. For the fat, I use coconut oil. If you crave sweets, these might be a good way to wean yourself off refined sugar.

Ingredients

– 20 dates (pitted and soaked for at least 1 hour)
– 1 cup of walnuts (soaked 6 hours)
– 4 Tbsp. coconut oil
– 4 tsp. cinnamon
– 4 tsp. ground cloves
– ground ginger or nutmeg (optional)

How to Make the Cookies

Puree dates and walnuts. Add coconut oil, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Form into balls on parchment paper. Push down the balls into cookie shapes. Bake at 350° for about 15-20 minutes.
