Gooey Chocolate Chip & Date Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the melted and cooled coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar. Mix until well incorporated. Now add the almond flour and baking soda. Whisk until well combined and the dough is sticky. Fold in chopped dates and chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.

Scoop out about 1/4 cup amounts of dough onto your baking sheet, stacking the cookies quite high and ensuring that there is ample space between them as they will rise and spread slightly. Press chocolate chips on the top of the cookies if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are starting to brown around the edges. Let cool slightly before enjoying.
