9 steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

  • Put the Madame Labriski date puree, applesauce and egg into a bowl and mix well.

  • Now add the pure vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt. If you want to give your cookies a more intense vanilla flavour, you can use Madame Labriski vanilla-flavoured date puree! ;-)

    Wait for the little bubbling effect (just for the fun of it) and blend thoroughly.

  • Gradually stir in all the remaining ingredients (the quick cooking oats, oat flour, ground flax seeds, shredded coconut, fresh or frozen raspberries and dark chocolate chips) and mix well.

    *For a GLUTEN-FREE version, use certified gluten-free oats and oat flour.

  • IMPORTANT! Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat because if you don’t, everything will stick. You got it! There’s no fat whatsoever in this recipe.

  • Drop the dough onto the sheet using a spoon or measuring scoop to create nice plump Labriski cookies. CHALLENGE: Try to resist the temptation to eat all your cookie dough before you’ve even started baking them! ;-)

  • Garnish with nice plump raspberries if you’ve got any left! Mad about coconut? Generously sprinkle some on your cookies to make them even more eye-catching!

  • Bake for about 15 minutes. Allow your cookies to cool on a rack before digging in.

  • Oh my, oh my, just wait and see how good your house will smell. Enjoy!!!
