When your craving for something sweet gets the best of you try making these easy, TWC approved cookies.
Instead of flour this recipe and many flour-less desserts use dates to hold the mixture together. You can feel good about eating these cookies because dates provide us with dietary fiber, iron and potassium too.
The difference between these cookies and most of the bars I make is the ten-minute baking time. The result is chewier and more like a traditional cookie. This treat should satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth!
Take your time and savor your sweet…. Actually you don’t have a choice because they’re so chewy you can’t eat them fast!

1 1/4 cup soft dates
1 cup raw cashews (can substitute the last 1/4 cup with pecans for a sweeter cookie)
