Yield: 24 cookies
Equipment
- Food processor fitted with steel blade
Ingredients
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 2 ¼ cups (225 g) certified gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ⅛ cups (200 g) pitted medjool dates
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a medium-size bowl, place 2 of the whole eggs. Separate the other two eggs, and add only the yolks to the bowl. Reserve the remaining two egg whites for another use.
- In a blender or food processor, place about 3/4 of a cup (75 g) of the oats and grind into a powder. Transfer the ground oats and remaining whole oats to a medium-size bowl and mix to combine.
- In the same blender or food processor, place the dates, and 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks. Blend or process until mostly smooth.
- Add the date mixture to the bowl of oats and oat flour and mix to combine well. The dough should be thick.
- Scoop the dough out by the tablespoonful and place on the prepared baking sheet in portions about 1 1/2-inches apart from one another. With wet fingers spread each into a disk about 1/4-inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet the center of the preheated oven and bake until set in the center, about 8 minutes. The cookies are set when they are no longer shiny.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
