Servings: persons

6 pitted dates
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
3 tablespoons water
¼ cup walnuts
⅔ cup rolled oats, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ cup unbleached cane sugar
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened)
½ cup spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Submerge dates in hot water (not quite boiling) for 10 minutes, so they can soften a bit.
3
Stir together the ground flax seed and water, and set aside.
4
Put the soaked dates and the walnuts in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
5
Add in the flax mixture, 1/3 cup of the oats, the canola oil, cane sugar, salt, and vanilla.
6
Pulse again for about 15-20 seconds, to chop and mix everything well.
7
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, and stir in the coconut, flour, baking soda, and the remaining 1/3 cup of oats.
8
When everything is well combined, stir in the chocolate chips.
9
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheet.
10
Flatten the cookies just slightly with the back of a spoon (or your hands), because they won't spread much during baking.
11
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they start to turn golden.
12
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
