Chocolate Date Cookies
I’m back with another simple, speedy and satisfying recipe – this time for delicious and nutritious chocolate date cookies. These came about last Saturday morning, when I realized I had just over one hour left to shower, get ready and prepare a dessert to bring along to my boyfriend’s.
Often when I bring food along, I tend to go with a tried and tested recipe, or something new that I’ve carefully thought out.

As much as I still love the idea of having cookies for breakfast, my tastes and preferences have changed and I no longer consider cookies with lots of sugar and refined ingredients an appealing way to start the day. That’s why I’ve created this recipe – cookies so wholesome and nourishing that they really can replace breakfast, but also sweet and yummy enough to taste like a little treat.
