These tasty, chewy cookies are the #1 favorite in our house. The recipe came about through much experimentation because I wanted a chewy date-nut cookie and couldn't find what I wanted online.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 c butter, room temperature
1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar, lightly packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 c quick cooking oats
2/3 c dates, chopped
1/2 c walnuts, chopped
1/4 c cranberries, dried
DIRECTIONS

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease well, 4 cookie sheets.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugars together well. Then beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
  • 3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Mix in the oats, dates and nuts. Dried cranberries (or cherries) are optional, but good in this recipe. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour, two is better.
  • 4. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly with a large fork dipped in water. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of granulated sugar.
  • 5. Bake for 12 minutes, turning sheets once at about 8 minutes. Cookies will not look done. Immediately upon removing from oven, sprinkle cookies lightly with a little sugar (optional). Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe dates: Softer dates are easier to blend and will result in a smoother cookie dough. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you eat them too soon, they may be too soft and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These date nut oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are made with wholesome ingredients like dates, oats, and nuts, and they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Plus, they are gluten-free and vegan, so they can be enjoyed by people with dietary restrictions.
