Oatmeal Date Cookies
Nothing tastes better than classic oatmeal cookies but these sweet treats have less butter and sugar than regular recipes because of the natural sweetness dates add. Dates are full of fiber and these dried fruits also offer B vitamins, potassium and iron. Try using whole wheat flour in addition to traditional all-purpose for a boost of fiber and nutrients while maintaining a soft texture. By adding oats to your cookies, you again boost the fiber content and add to the texture of the final product. These cookies have vanilla and cardamom to compliment the sweet dates and chewy oats. Enjoy these lightened-up cookies today!
