Melt-in-your-mouth Oaty Date Cookies

The name says it all. These are healthy cookies which are firm to touch, then just melt in your mouth once you bite into them!

These cookies have NO sugar (say whaat!?) and are deliciously sweetened by pitted dates. These Melt-in-your-mouth Oaty Date Cookies (not so) dangerously addictive!!

The texture is kind of in between a melting moment and a digestive biscuit – so it is crumbly, melts in your mouth, with a light crunchy texture from the oats and walnuts – and also a little bit of chewiness from the dates.

These are really easy to roll into balls, so is a great one to get the kids to help with!

 

 
Add oats, flour, butter, egg and vanilla to bowl
 
 
 Mix 10 seconds/Speed 5 
 
Add walnuts and dates – mix 30 seconds/Speed 4 
 
Roll into tablespoon sized balls…
…and press down with a fork
 
 
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until browned
