Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (96 grams) rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) chopped Medjool dates
Nuts and Garnish:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Hydrate the dates by immersing them in warm water for several minutes to soften their texture, then meticulously drain and finely chop into small, uniform pieces.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, finely chopped walnuts, and prepared date fragments, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Whisk the egg separately until uniformly blended, then gently pour into the dry ingredient mixture.
- Integrate all components using a folding motion, continuously mixing until the ingredients cohesively bind and a consistent dough formation emerges.
- Manipulate the dough with clean hands, crafting compact spherical shapes or gently flattening them into rustic cookie configurations.
- Position the formed cookies onto a parchment-lined baking surface, strategically spacing them to allow proper heat circulation.
- Transfer the baking sheet into a preheated oven calibrated at 350°F (175°C), allowing the cookies to transform into golden-hued delicacies through 10-12 minutes of precise baking.
- Remove from the oven and permit the cookies to rest momentarily on the baking sheet, facilitating initial cooling, then delicately transfer to a wire cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
Notes
- Soften dates quickly by soaking them in hot water to ensure a moist, chewy texture in your cookies.
- Mix ingredients thoroughly to create a cohesive dough that holds together perfectly when shaping.
- Use wet hands when forming cookies to prevent sticky dough from clinging to your fingers.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, maintaining their delightful crunch and flavor.
