Gluten-Free Date and Hazelnut Cookie Recipe

If you're looking for a delicious yet guilt-free solution to your sweet cravings, these gluten-free date and hazelnut cookies are just for you! They contain no refined sugar, no flour, no gluten — but every bite is packed with flavor. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make.

In this recipe, we use dates, one of the most natural sweeteners, instead of refined sugar. Dates not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also provide a good amount of fiber, helping you feel fuller for longer. Hazelnut flour is the star of the recipe, offering a gluten-free base rich in healthy fats and vitamin E. When combined with cocoa and dark chocolate chips, it turns into the perfect “happy snack.”

Preparing these cookies couldn’t be easier. All you need is a food processor and a few minutes. By using a small ice cream scoop to portion them, you can achieve evenly baked and beautiful cookies.

You can enjoy these cookies alongside your morning coffee, pack them in your kids' lunchboxes, or have them as a midday energy booster. They’re an excellent choice especially for those who follow a gluten-free diet or want to eliminate refined sugar from their lives.

Now, let’s look at a few tips:

• You can add your personal touch by incorporating flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, or orange zest.
• If your dates are very dry, don’t forget to soak them in hot water for a few minutes beforehand — this will make them much easier to process.
• You can substitute hazelnut flour with almond or walnut flour if you prefer.

If you're in search of a healthy yet sweet treat, you absolutely must try these cookies. I'm sure you'll fall in love with their irresistible taste from the very first bite.

Enjoy the recipe!

Enjoy!
