These are soft, delicious, and healthy cookies packed with nutrition, and with no added sugar at all! These cookies are made with date sugar. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, especially around the holidays.
Date sugar is powdered dried dates. This can be added to smoothies, salad, and in baked goods for extra flavor and nutrition. It is available in supermarkets. Dates are rich in iron and would help improve anemia. For kids who may be picky eaters, sneaking nutrition is a great idea. Who doesn't love cookies? Cookies are always an easy and great way to give extra nutrition to kids. This cookie uses only date sugar and no other sugar of any form. With added pieces of dates and walnuts, every bite is super yummy! This gives the perfect sweetness in every bite and the tons of walnuts added give the crunchy satisfaction. Chocolatey Whole Wheat Date Sugar Banana Bread is also an option to include in your menu that utilizes date sugar as the sweetener.
These cookies are easy to make. All you need to make these cookies are all purpose flour, date sugar, butter, salt, baking powder, flaxseed powder, milk, vanilla, dates, and walnuts. The added dates give extra chewiness and extra dose of natural sweetness in the cookie. I would highly recommend not to omit it. It is like the chocolate chips in the cookie. These cookies can be baked immediately, or rolled into a log, refrigerated, sliced and baked. These do not spread much while baking.
Holidays are the feasting season. So, it is always a great idea to have healthier versions of cookies to bake and munch. This is one of our favorites using dates. This gives the perfect comfort when you dunk in milk cherishing the moment. For an even healthier version, try these Date Oats Vegan Heart Cookies which make a delicious breakfast. These cookies are a great addition to your cookie tray. Put away your regular cookies and try this cookie for a change and I can guarantee that this would be a loved one.
Can you believe it is already November? Holidays are closer and that means one thing. Cookies! Ok... the next one is Fun! It is the best part of the year. Welcome to #ChristmasCookies Week!
