6 steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

  • Put the date puree, unsweetened mixed berry applesauce, egg and almond extract into a bowl. Mix thoroughly. (The colour is… well, a little weird. BUT IT SMELLS SO DELICIOUSKI!). Now add the baking soda and powder and stir again.

  • Next add the flour, sliced almonds, dried cherries, chia seeds and white chocolate chips. Can I just throw everything into the bowl at the same time Madame Labriski? You bet! Once you’ve done that, give everything another good stir.

  • LABRISKITIP: It’s a good idea to line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If you don’t, EVERYTHING WILL STICK. (No way José!!!)

  • Drop the dough onto your cookie sheet using two teaspoons. If you feel like it, you can garnish with a dried cherry in the centre of each cookie.

  • Pop your little beauties in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).

FAQ

Where can I buy Madame Labriski date puree?

At IGA, Rachelle Béry, Marché Tradition and Bonichoix grocery stores across Quebec. My purees contain no preservatives and can be found in the fruit and vegetable section (yes, dates are fruit) near the pre-cut fruit and vegetables. If you can’t find them, simply ask a member of staff!

Can I swap chia seeds for flax seeds and vice versa?

Yes, always. You can also use hemp seeds.

What can I use as a substitute for one egg?

There are several options:

  • 1 tbsp. ground chia seeds + 3 tbsp. water,
  • 2 tbsp. ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp. water,
  • ½ mashed banana,
  • Egg substitute (yes, it’s available at grocery stores, in the organic section).

Note that the texture of your recipes will be slightly different… but they’ll still be 100% delicious

Can I freeze raw cookie and muffin dough?

Yes.
