Ingredients

• 6 Medjool dates pitted
• 1/3 cup hot water
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cup tigernut flour sifted (or cassava flour)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the date paste by soaking the Medjool pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes and then pour it all into a food processor or high-speed blender to blend well into a paste. Set aside.

3. To a large mixing bowl, add sifted flour (you may push flour through a fine mesh strainer in a separate bowl and then measure out the 1 1/2 cups or use a flour sifter). Add the cinnamon and baking soda and mix.

4. Next, add date paste to the bowl and melted coconut oil. Mix all together using a spatula or large spoon until your cookie dough forms.

5. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and roll each one into a ball with your hands.

6. Place each cookie ball on your lined baking sheet and press cookies down to flatten a bit (approx. 1/2-inch thick or a little less). Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until golden on the edges and cracks have formed.

7. Let cookies rest on a rack for 10 minutes before digging in. Store in an airtight container or cookie jar to keep them soft.
