Preheat oven to 180ºC.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place roughly chopped dates in a bowl of water and let them soak for 10 minutes.
Later, mash them with a fork to create a paste and add the remaining wet ingredients, then mix well.
In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients, then add your date mixture to this bowl and keep whisking until the batter thickens.
Use a spoon to scoop up the batter and place it on the baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the cookies turn golden.
