Ingredients
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup allergy friendly oats
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
8 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening, soft but not melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten, or 2 egg replacers

15 dates, pits removed and sliced in half
How-To
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk. Add the oil, egg, and vanilla. Mix to combine. The dough will be thick and stiff – you can squeeze it together with your hands to bring it all together.
Scoop the cookies into small balls and flatten lightly with your palm. Press half of a date into the center of each dough ball. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies get lightly toasted on the outside.
