How to Make Sugarless Health Cookies

  1. Boil 1 cup raisins, 1 cup pitted dates, and ½ cup water for 3 minutes.
  2. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
  3. Add ½ cup oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Mix well to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Optional: Add a sugar substitute (such as stevia or erythritol) to taste for extra sweetness, but the natural sweetness from the fruit is truly delicious!
