a healthy holiday treat with
Medjool dates and almond flour.
Deliciously sweet from the dates
themselves, no sugar added. with
non-dairy milk and just a touch of
edge crisping in the oven, nothing
could be more wholesome. this
recipe focuses on using natural
ingredients to create a fes5ve and
healthier version of holiday spice
cookies.
tips: Use fresh, so Medjool dates for the
best flavor and texture and do not overbake
the cookies, as they can become dry. They
should be just lightly golden brown around the
edges. Store the cookies in an airKght con-
tainer at room temperature for up to one week
or freeze for longer storage. For best results,
allow the cookies to cool completely before
icing. Start with less milk and add gradually to
avoid making the icing too runny. You can store
leover date powder icing in an airKght con-
tainer in the refrigerator for a few days.
