cookies will be now add two pitted dates a quarter cup melted coconut oil and one egg and then process until smooth now add one cup of whole old fashioned rolled oats a quarter cup unsweetened shredded coconut and half a cup of dark chocolate chips and give it all a mix with a spatula take your time mixing as the oat flour will slowly absorb the liquid then take a quarter measuring cup fill it with a cookie dough and then place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet use the back of the measuring cup a spoon or your fingers to flatten the cookie to about half an inch thick and repeat
