- pinch of sea salt, optional
- ¼ cup chocolate chips, melted (optional, for topping)

Preheat the oven to 175C (350F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Start by making the flax egg, mix the flaxseed meal with the hot water and let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken. At the same time soak the dates in hot water and let them sit 10 minutes, then drain.
-
Add the dates to a food processor and mix util smooth and creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse to combine.

Roll into 14 balls, and press down using a fork to make them flatter. The cookies will not spread in the oven.

Bake for 7-9 min, the cookies will still be soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will set as they cool. Let them cool down completely before removing them, or they can break.
