Date Paste Double Chocolate Cookies
This recipe for Vegan Date Paste Double Chocolate Chip Cookies should give you somewhere around 12 to 14 cookies depending on how bit you make them and how many chips you add. I usually get 14 and my cookies are done in 8 minutes. The dough is soft and should be scooped, but once scooped you should be able to form the dough into neat, flattened balls.
