Oatmeal Cookies With Tahini Dates Chocolate Chunks Food

COFFEE TAHINI DATE CHOCOLATE CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, add in softened butter, tahini and brown sugar; mix on medium high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Switch mixer to medium low speed; add in egg, pure maple syrup, vanilla and instant coffee; beat for 1 minute or until well combined, smooth and creamy. Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Next add in the chocolate chunks and chopped dates; mixing until well incorporated.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to grab the dough and roll into a ball with your hands. Place dough on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches apart between each dough ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden brown. A slightly underbaked cookie is always best so they stay nice and chewy!
• Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack. This allows them to set up a bit and harden slightly around the edges. Repeat with remaining dough. Makes about 20 cookies. Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy!

HEALTHY OATMEAL, DATE AND CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the oats out on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the oats for sprinkling and transfer the remaining oats to a medium mixing bowl to cool. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter on medium-high speed until lighter in color and slightly fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Beat in the egg and vanilla until very fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• In the mixing bowl with the cooled oats, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt, and mix to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low, then add the flour mixture to the butter and beat until just combined. Stir in the dates and chocolate by hand.
• Drop level tablespoons of the dough on the baking sheets, leaving at least 1-inch of space around each cookie, about 30 cookies total. Sprinkle the cookies with the reserved toasted oats. Bake until the cookies are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.

Using an electric beater or the paddle attachment of the stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until it they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat them into the butter and sugar mixture. Add in the vanilla as well.
• With a rubber spatula or with the stand mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks and walnuts.
• Spoon the cookie dough by 2 tablespoon-size balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 13 minutes.
• When the cookies come out of the oven IMMEDIATELY sprinkle each cookie with a few grains of sea salt. This is really important to do while the cookies are hot.
