Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
- Optional Garnish:
- Sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cookie sheet and set it aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, add the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream until smooth. Add the egg and beat again to combine.
- Add Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and beat again until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped dates, and walnuts.
- Portion the Dough: Using a ¼ measuring cup, scoop the dough into balls and roll them between your palms.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The center can remain slightly gooey.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
