SUGAR-FREE OATMEAL DATE COOKIES

4 oz medjool dates 110g, pitted weight - around ½ cup, well packed (see notes re alternative)
2 oz unsalted butter ½ stick/55g, softened to room temperature and cut into chunks
½ egg beaten
⅓ cup all purpose flour 46g plain flour
½ cup oats 45g, old fashioned rather than quick
¼ teaspoon baking soda bicarbonate of soda
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
Roughly chop the dates and blend with the butter and egg (food processor works well).
Add the remaining ingredients and either pulse a few times if using a food processor or stir until combined. If using food processor, you may need to stir at the end to get everything well-mixed.
Take spoonfuls and roll slightly in your hand then put on a baking tray and flatten slightly.
Bake for approximately 15mins until starting to brown.
