Ingredients

7 Medjool Dates - Pitted
1/2 Cup Warm Milk - Washed
1 1/2 Cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the pitted Medjool dates in a bowl with the warm milk. Allow them to soften for 5 minutes.
Mash the dates and milk together with a fork until a thick, mostly smooth paste forms. A few small chunks are perfectly fine.
Add the desiccated coconut and baking powder to the date mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and a soft, sticky dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough onto the prepared baking sheet for each cookie.
Gently flatten and shape each portion into a small, round cookie, leaving a little space between them.
Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve and enjoy these naturally sweet, chewy coconut treats
