Indulging in your favorite cookies doesn't have to mean sacrificing nutrition, and these recipes are here to prove it. By sweetening cookies with products like date syrup, date sugar or date paste, we're infusing them with a rich, caramel-like sweetness while adding a dose of extra nutritional goodness. Dates are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making them a great white sugar substitute. Treat yourself to a healthier indulgence with these 5 date-sweetened cookie recipes.
