ingredients ྀི

• 10 pitted dates soaked in hot water

• 1/2 cup softened butter

• 3 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 3 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 egg room temp

• 1 cup all purpose flour ( or gluten-free flour)

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup sugar free dark chocolate chips

• 3 tsp cinnamon

instructions  ྀི

1. Boil your pitted dates for 10 minutes or until soft

2. Blend the dates in a blender or a food processor until the dates create a paste. Incorporate water by the tablespoon if the paste is too thick.

3. Add the butter to the blender with the dates. Then, transfer to a bowl. Be careful to not over mix as this will get rid of the fluffy texture.

4. Mix the egg, date butter, vanilla, and maple syrup together.

5. In that bowl, add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until everything is well combined and creates a dough texture.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips

7. Place your dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cookies should be about 1-2 tbsp large.

8. Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes.
