Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 ½ cup (120g) unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the pits from the dates and discard. Then, measure out the required amount of dates.
  • Add the pitted dates and the shredded coconut into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth. Be sure to blend well so that no date lumps remain—aim for a dough-like consistency.
  • If the mixture seems too thick or dry, you can add a tiny splash of water to help it blend, but don’t add too much.
  • Scoop out the dough and roll into small balls or flatten them into cookie shapes. Place them onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use Soft Dates: Make sure to use soft, moist dates like Medjool for the best texture. If your dates are too dry, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften before blending.
  • Blend Until Smooth: Blend the dates and coconut until the mixture is completely smooth—no lumps! This ensures a consistent texture for your cookies.
  • Measure Accurately: Make sure to measure both the dates and coconut to maintain the right dough consistency.
  • Consistency Check: If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more coconut. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit of water to bring it together.
  • Don't Over-Bake: These cookies bake quickly. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking—just golden edges are perfect!
  • Cool Before Storing: Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. They’ll firm up a bit as they cool.
