Add the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until well combined.
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a cookie. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake at 160°C for 12 minutes.
Once out of the oven, the cookies will be very soft. Let them cool completely before enjoying.

Notes
This recipe is naturally vegan, gluten-free (if using certified GF coconut), dairy-free, nut-free, and contains no added sugars—perfect for a wide range of dietary needs.
I always weigh the dates after removing the stones, so the quantity listed refers to pitted dates.
Because this recipe uses only two ingredients, the quality matters—make sure your dates are soft and sweet, and your coconut is fresh for the best flavour and texture.
These cookies are part of my Accidentally Vegan series—wholesome, simple recipes that just happen to be plant-based and fuss-free.
