Coconut date cookies

These Coconut Date Cookies are made from a mixture of coconut flour, wholemeal and plain flours, chopped dates, and rolled oats, sweetened with light brown sugar and bound together with butter and egg. The dough is formed into balls, flattened, and baked until golden, resulting in chewy, textured cookies sweetened naturally by dates with a hint of coconut flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup dates chopped, pitted
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon plain flour plus extra for dusting, with quantity in ounces
  • ½ cup + tablespoon wholemeal flour see the note.
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 ½ ticks butter softened.
  • 1 cup light brown sugar soft
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda bicarbonate of soda
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 190 C/ 375 F/ Gas mark 5.
  2. LIne 2 large baking trays with greaseproof paper/ baking paper.
  3. Put the sugar and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg in and mix well. 
  5. In another bowl, sift the plain flour together with the bicarbonate of soda and salt. Then put the wholemeal flour, coconut flour, dates and rolled oats in. Combine and stir well.
  6. Put the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Stir and mix well.
  7. Lightly flour your hands. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cookie dough onto your hands and roll into balls. Place them on your baking trays and flatten them with your palm, or the back of a spoon.
  8. Make sure you space the cookie dough well apart to give room for the cookie to expand.
  9. Bake in your preheated oven about 16 - 18 minutes. Or, if you put both baking trays in the oven at the same time, bake for 10 minutes. Then swap the one on the top with the one at the lower rack of your oven. And bake for another 10 minutes. This worked fine for me.
  10. Your cookies are ready when they turned golden brown. Leave them to cool for 5 minutes before you transfer your coconut and dates cookie to a cooling rack to completely cool.
  11. Enjoy your cookies with your favourite cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

  • Plain flour can replace wholemeal flour if needed, though texture differs slightly.
  • Using caster or granulated sugar works but yields firmer, grainier cookies than light brown sugar.
  • Space dough balls well on trays to allow for cookie expansion during baking.
