I’m obsessed with dates – see the previous post! I’m finding all sorts of interesting ways to use dates as a sugar substitute. I came across this recipe and tweaked it slightly to make it Tabbalicious. These tasty little desserts literally took 20 minutes from start to finish. I LOVE cookies, I love peanut butter and I now loves dates, WINS all around. Additional perk – dates are FULL of fiber!

5 ingredient date cookies

What you need:

• Pitted Dates – 1 cup
• Creamy natural Peanut butter – 1 cup
• Vanilla – 1 Tsp
• 1 large egg
• nutmeg – 1/2 tsp

Parchment paper, fork, food processor/blender

Makes about 14 cookies

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend the dates in the food processor, adding 1/2 TBS of water if needed. Once the dates are blended into a paste add all the additional ingredients. Once well mixed, with wet hands form mixture into 1.5 inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place balls 1 inch apart, then with a wet fork flatten and create a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 10 minutes exactly. Cool for a few minutes and ENJOY! Seal in an airtight container, 2 a day keeps the sugar urges away! enjoy & SHARE!
