1½ cups flour
½ cup coconut oil

Instructions

Let's Begin!

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Filling:

In a saucepan, cook dates and water until thickened, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Set aside to cool completely.

Cookies:

Put oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until crumbly.
In a large bowl, cream together the date sugar, vanilla, and coconut oil.
Add salt and baking soda. Mix well.
Stir in flour until well mixed.
Add oats and mix well.
Blend in 2-4 tablespoons of water, more or less as needed to make a smooth dough.
Roll to 1/8 inch thick (we like to roll between two pieces of parchment)
Cut round cookies with a 2″ cookie cutter.
Place a teaspoon of the date paste into the center and fold the two half edges together to make a crescent.
Repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on a baking rack.
