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)
– 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. You might need to add each date one at a time to the food processor. 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.
