They look pretty standard here, but trust me these are anything but boring. they’re the easiest, most deliciously chewy cookies made of just five ingredients: ground almonds, medjool dates, almond milk, dark chocolate chips (or raisins) and chia seeds. it’s magic!

ingredients
180g ground almonds
12 medjool dates, pitted
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoons almond milk
handful of dark chocolate chips, or raisins
method
preheat oven to 180c, fan setting.
simply place all of the ingredients (apart from your dark chocolate chips or raisins) in a food processor and whizz until it forms a cookie dough.
once mixed, add the dark chocolate chips or raisins and give it another very quick whizz to mix it all together.
use a tablespoon to take a scoop of the mixture out one at a time, rolling them into balls and placing them on a lined baking sheet.
once you have about 12 round balls, squish them down to form cookie shapes.
bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Ingredients
25g coconut oil
90g coconut sugar
100g plain flour, we use gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
35ml almond milk
60g dark chocolate chips
A pinch of sea salt
method
Preheat the oven to 190C (375F), fan setting.
Melt the coconut oil over a low heat, ensuring it never comes to the boil or else it’ll taste burnt. Once melted, remove from the heat and leave to cool a little – you want it to reach room temperature, but still be in liquid form.
In a large bowl, mix the coconut sugar, flour, baking powder and salt, until there are no lumps.
Pour in the almond milk and cooled coconut oil and mix well until a thick mixture forms – I find it easiest to do this part by hand
Add in the chocolate chips, and bring the cookie dough together using your hands. We really recommend using your hands for this part, it works a lot better than using spoons or mixers in this recipe.
Shape the dough into six balls.
Place the balls onto a baking tray. Space them out evenly across the baking tray, leaving at least 3cm between each ball (as they will expand).
Bake for 10 minutes until golden.
Once cooked, leave the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes – during this time they will harden.
gooey in the middle, a little crunchy on the outside with big chunks of melted chocolate. really easy, really speedy, completely delicious. can’t wait to hear what you think.

Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’d like to introduce you to my new favorite cookie. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel here…. I’m just trying to coax good cookies out of my oven.
These cookies are soft and hearty. I like using old fashioned oats because they add all sorts of body to the cookie dough. It’s also nice to use the best chocolate you can get your hands on. It just makes life better. These cookies bake up soft, slightly chewy, with a depth of sweetness and a hint of spice. They’re sort of my version of a granola bar… but really, I know better. Yum. Seriously.

Putting chunks of dough in the oven? Also a great idea.
Yea… I was on a good idea roll.
The best idea ever? Putting these warm cookies in my mouth and calling it dinner. Excellent.
Just thought I would share my good ideas with you. Yea… I’m kind of a show off.

makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Print this Recipe!
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups uncooked oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
Beat the sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment. Beat until creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat until blended.
Whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Add to the butter and egg mixture slowly beating on low speed until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans last.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 13 minutes or until they’ve reached your desired doneness. I like mine a little underdone and cook them for 10 minutes.
