Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie.
  • If you don't have coconut oil, you can substitute unsalted butter.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or agave nectar.
  • Be sure to chop the dates finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Oatmeal Date Coconut Drop Cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are easy to make. These cookies are perfect for anyone who loves oatmeal, dates, and coconut. They are also a great way to use up leftover oats.
