» For 2-Ingredient Walnut Date Cookies

• 1 ½ cups walnuts
• 1 cup tightly packed soft dates

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make 2-Ingredient Walnut Date Cookies

1. If your dates have pits, remove them and set them aside.
2. Add walnuts to a food processor and blend until they turn into a coarse meal. Avoid over-processing into butter.
3. Add the soft dates and blend again until the mixture comes together into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
4. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl.
5. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
6. Gently flatten each ball to shape into cookie s.
7. Create patterns on top using an onion-tomato slicer. You can also use a fork or knife for simple designs.
8. Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F). Place the cookies in a lined air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each one.
9. Air fry at 160°C for 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly firm on the outside.
10. Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack before serving. They will firm up and develop a chewy texture as they cool.
11. Enjoy your delicious 2-ingredient walnut date cookies with a glass of milk, or spread some nut butter for a protein boost and sandwich two cookies together for variety.

RECIPE NOTES

1. You can use Medjool or other soft dates for these cookies. Soft, moist dates give the best texture. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes, then drain well.
2. Do not over-blend the walnuts, as they may release oil and turn into walnut butter.
3. These cookies are naturally sweet, soft, and chewy with lightly crisp edges.
4. For softer cookies, bake closer to 9 minutes. For slightly firmer edges, bake up to 10 minutes.
