Sweet Dates: 102 Delicious Cookie Recipes - Introduction Cookies have been a staple snack and dessert for generations around the world. From chocolate chip and sugar cookies to macarons and biscotti, the varieties of cookies are endless. They can be enjoyed at any time of the day, with a hot cup of coffee in the morning, as a midday energy booster, or a sweet treat after dinner. There is just something about that first bite of the warm, gooey goodness that takes us back to our childhood. But, have you ever tried a cookie made with dates? If not, you are in for a delightful surprise! Dates are naturally sweet and rich in flavor, making them a perfect ingredient for cookies. They also provide natural sweetness and don't cause a sudden spike in blood sugar as regular sugar does. Dates are also high in fiber, minerals, and vitamins, making them a healthier alternative to refined sugar. In this cookbook, we present Sweet Dates: 102 Delicious Cookie Recipes.

From classic date-filled oatmeal cookies to almond date thumbprint cookies, this cookbook offers something for everyone.

In traditional cookies, sugar is the dominant ingredient, but in our Sweet Dates cookbook, we have used dates as the central ingredient to make the cookies inherently healthier. We have also used healthy alternatives like whole-grain flour, plant-based oils, and nuts to make the cookies more wholesome and nutritious.
