I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 180C
Line large baking tray with baking paper
Place all ingredients into Thermomix bowl. Chop 10 Seconds / Speed 8.
Add milk to moisten the dough. Mix 4 seconds / Speed 6
Remove bowl and with aid of spatula, scoop out small balls of the dough. Roughly round each one and slightly flatten. Place onto baking tray.
Pop baking tray into preheated oven and bake for 12-15 mins, until slightly browned on top.
Each cookie ball is approx the diameter of a 50 cent piece, but feel free to make bigger or smaller, as required.
The dough is quite moist, but thats ok. The cookies come out nice and moist and chewy!
These cookies freeze very well in an airtight bag, and popped into lunchboxes frozen. Otherwise, store in an airtight container and they are still good after 5 days, if they last that long!
This recipe is my slightly altered version of the onehandedcook.com.au version. An awesome website for any parents looking for healthy kids meals and snacks.
Easy steps to follow
Tip
To make a non dairy version, use almond milk or similar to wet the dough at the final step.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

LOVE these for healthy bikkies! But having a CBF moment today and decided to skip the rolling...put the dough into a baking-paper-lined slice tray, cooked for 30min on 180deg. It turned out lovely as a slice too
I also mixed in some choccy chips at the end, 10 sec speed 5 reverse, and reduced the dates to 200g as suggested
These are perfect to cook with the kids - no sugar and no eggs so they’re pretty healthy and they eat the dough while we are rolling them and it doesn’t matter. I make with 1/2dates and 1/2 sultanas. Often I add choc chips to the top to make it a little bit fun. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I have only had my TM5 for 3 days before I tried this recipe and I am so impressed with how it's not only fool proof but also tastes delicious. Along with fellow comments I cut my dates down to around 200grms.
The kids love them and a great snack for the 3pm sugar craving.
Great healthy snack. Will decrease the dates next time as a bit too sweet.
Thank you!
Cheers nomi
Great lunchbox treat
These have been a huge hit in our house! Reduced the dates and added dried cranberries, also used gluten free flour and was still great texture and yummy.
Very nice, will do slightly less dates next time
Delicious.
I also reduced the dates to 260g and used plain flour (with 2tsp baking powder) as I had no wholemeal and they are delicious. Beautiful texture. Kids and hubbie enojoyed them too.
Love this!! So easy and very yummy.
I absolutely love this recipe. So quick and easy and delicious! My kids love them and so do i we make them at least once a week.
