Anything with carrot in it is an Easter recipe, right? :) I think so and that is why this recipe has found its way to my Easter recipes list. I find myself craving all kinds of sweets all the time and cookies are definitely one of the main ones of those cravings. For a change I decided to try making something that would keep the sweet tooth satisfied, but would not have any added sugar or fat in it.

​

When I am thinking of natural sweeteners, dates are definitely my favorite one. I love eating them as a snack, especially those super soft ones that break in your hands and melt in your mouth..mmm.. :) *took a break and went hunting for some dates* That is why it had to be dates for this recipe as well. To add a bit more sweetness and also to make this an Easter recipe we had to invite the carrot. I personally think this came to be a perfect combination of flavors and if I would give you this cookie and not tell you it has no sugar, you would never be able to tell, as these are really sweet. 

​

I would like to give you a little tip and that is when you buy the dates for this recipe or any other recipe with dates (don´t miss out my Healthy Date Bread and this amazing Sticky Toffee Pudding) try to get really soft dates as they will make a great smooth puree. However, if you are not able to get such soft dates or you happen to have some leftover dates at home that have gone a little hard, then just soak them for a little longer in that hot water and you will be fine :)
