24 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Pitted dates
½ cup Water
1 teaspoon Whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract
⅓ cup Brown sugar
⅓ cup Granulated sugar, * see note
1 Egg white
½ cup Whole wheat flour
½ cup Rolled oats, * see note
½ teaspoon Baking soda
1 dash Salt
½ cup Chocolate chips, semi sweet
¼ cup Raisins
Vegetable spray

Directions

* Note - I used turbinado sugar * Note - If not using rolled oats (uncooked oatmeal), use 1 cup whole wheat flour

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine dates and water in a saucepan and simmer about 10 minutes until soft. Add 1 tsp whole wheat flour and mix to thicken. (Or use the date pieces from the natural food store that are coated with oat flour and skip this step.) By spoon, mash dates and mix with vanilla. Spoon date puree into a mixing bowl and cream sugars with an electric mixer. Add egg white and blend.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine flours, baking soda and salt. Thoroughly mix wet and dry ingredients together by hand. Stir in chocolate chips and raisins. Chill dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Drop dough by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets coated with cooking spray.

Bake until edges are golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.

Makes 24 cookies.
