Ingredients Needed

- Medjool Dates: The base for our edible cookie dough. Dates are packed with fiber and antioxidants, they have a caramel-like flavor that pairs perfectly with the cookie dough!
- Almond Flour: Made from blanched almonds, this gluten-free flour gives our cookie dough a soft, light texture.
- Almond Butter: This healthy nut butter helps bind the cookie dough together. You can substitute with another nut butter, but almond butter is my favorite for it’s neutral flavor.
- Maple Syrup: Adds that perfect touch of natural sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds vanilla flavor.
- Vegan Chocolate Chips: I like to use mini chocolate chips, but feel free to go with any dairy-free chocolate chips or even your favorite chocolate bar cut into chunks.
- Sea Salt: Just a pinch brings out all the flavors. I like to sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top for the perfect sweet and salty balance!
How To Make Vegan Cookie Dough Stuffed Dates
- Prepare the Dates: If your medjool dates still have the pit, make a shallow slice down the middle of each date (being careful not to slice all the way through) and remove the pit.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, mix together almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, vegan chocolate chips, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Stuff the Dates: Spoon the chocolate chip cookie dough into the middle of each date. Top with more chocolate chips and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, if desired. Enjoy!
Megan’s Tips
- Use Fresh Dates: Fresh Medjool dates have the softest texture and are naturally sweet. I always reach for Joolie’s dates for the best quality and flavor.
- Taste and Adjust: Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the cookie dough to your liking. If you want it sweeter, add a little extra maple syrup. Just keep in mind that the dates will add extra sweetness!
- Switch Up the Nut Butter: Try cashew butter or peanut butter for a different flavor!
- Drizzle Chocolate: For even more indulgence, drizzle some melted chocolate over the stuffed dates, or dip them completely in melted chocolate!
- Storage: They’re best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They also freeze well for longer storage!
These Cookie Dough Stuffed Dates are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and satisfying. Whether you’re craving a quick snack, or need a fun treat to impress your friends (trust me, they’ll be asking you for the recipe), these stuffed dates are sure to be a hit!

Third date recipe I’ve tried from Megan and they are all amazing (made the S’mores Stuffed Dates and Date Hearts). This one is a definite kid favorite. Love the almond butter in the cookie dough. Can’t wait to try more! I think I’m going to try the Tiramisu or the Coconut Cream Pie next.
I’m so happy to hear that, and especially glad that it was a hit with the kids! I can’t wait for you to try more of my stuffed date recipes. Thanks so much for your lovely review & star rating!
