SALTED GOOEY DATE COOKIE

When developing this cookie recipe I had in mind quality ingredients. These cookies are indulgent, rich, gooey & sweet but have cleaner ingredient staples like high quality organic flour, coconut sugar instead of a refined sugar & minimal other add ins to make these a better for you more natural version of a traditional chocolate chip cookie.

What you’ll need:

1 ½ cups unbleached organic flour

1 stick butter, softened

⅔ cup coconut sugar

1 egg

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

¾ cup dates, pitted + finely chopped

1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Flaky sea salt

How you’ll make it:

Soften the dates: Cover chopped dates with hot water for 5–10 minutes. Drain extremely well and pat dry.

Mix wet: Cream softened butter + coconut sugar + egg.

Add dry: Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.

Fold in: Gently mix in the softened dates and dark chocolate chunks.

Chill: Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.

Bake: Scoop into uneven balls for a chunkier cookie and bake at 350°F for 9–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers still look soft.

Finish: Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool on the baking sheet for 5ish minutes.
