Mom knew baking and cooking as well as any professional. In fact, her county fair entries are usually placed at the top of their class. Local friends loved receiving her baked goods at Christmas time. In this article, I’ll be sharing my Mom’s Date Turnover Cookies. Let’s get baking!
A Vegan Version of Mom’s Date Turnover Cookies
A family hand-down from her mother and perhaps even her great- grandmother, this recipe delighted generations. However, the original relied on sugar and butter to build the soft cookie. Our version is vegan and healthy. However, it maintains the flavor and texture of Mom’s Date Turnover Cookies.
Instead of butter and eggs, this recipe calls for coconut oil and oats to achieve the perfect texture. The sweet and chewy filling is made from naturally sweetened dates and a hint of vanilla for added warmth. These cookies are perfect for sharing with family and friends and are sure to become a new favorite. Plus, you can feel good about indulging in a treat that’s both delicious and aligns with your ethical lifestyle. So go ahead and enjoy – your taste buds will thank you!
