Cooking Instructions

step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

step 2

In a stand mixer, combine the Brown Sugar (3/4 cup) and Unsalted Butter (1/4 cup). Mix until creamy and well blended.

step 3

Next, add in the remainder of the wet ingredients. Add the Tahini (1/2 cup), Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1), Instant Coffee (1 Tbsp), and Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) to the mixer. Mix until all wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.

step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the Almond Flour (3/4 cup), QUAKER® OATS Old Fashioned (1 cup), Baking Soda (1/2 tsp), Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp).

step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.

step 6

Gently fold the Medjool Dates (1/3 cup) into the dough.

step 7

Using an ice cream scooper, portion the dough into balls and place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are barely golden brown.

step 9

Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack.

step 10

While the cookies are still warm, garnish the tops with a sprinkle of Sea Salt Flakes (to taste).

step 11

Allow the cookies to cool completely before enjoying your delightful Tahini Oat Date Cookies.
