Recently when I shared the Vegan Almond Flour Cookies, a reader asked if they could replace sugar with date paste. Dates and Almond Flour combo sounded too good that I had to try.

Ingredients:

almond flour, dates and chocolate chips arranged in a bowl to make cookies

Ingredient notes:

Almond Flour – we need super almond flour in this recipe. Almond meal which is grainy will not work in this recipe.

Dates – we need soft pitted dates.

Step by Step Instructions –

Adjust the oven rack to one above the middle rack and preheat the oven to 325 F.

1 – To a blender add the almond flour and pitted dates.

2 – Pulse it few times till the dates and almond flour are combined well. Press and try forming a ball, if not pulse it couple more times.

Add the vanilla extract (optional).

3 – Divide the dough into 6 equal balls.

4 – Place a parchment paper on the cookie tray. Flatten the dough as shown in the pic and place a almond and few chocolate chips.

5 – Bake in the 325 F preheated oven for about 12 -14 minutes or the till the sides turn pale brown.

Do not over bake. The cookies will firm as they cool.

6 – Let cookies cool for 2 minutes on the sheet and then cool them on a wire rack for at least twenty minutes before enjoying them.

FAQ’s –

Can I use almond meal?

we need super fine flour, so Almond meal will not work in this recipe.

What kind of dates to use?

Any soft dates will work. If using little hard dates, soak them in hot water for few minutes.
