Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, shredded coconut, baking soda, and chopped walnuts. Make a well in the center. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the coconut oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt using a hand whisk. Once it is well blended, pour into the well in the flour mixture and mix well with a spatula. Fold in the chopped dates.
Using 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie, spoon the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared sheet pans. Bake in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly browned.

Chef Tips

Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. Stand the jar in a bowl of hot water to melt enough for the recipe.
