\"Chewy<\/p>\n

One of my favorite holiday traditions is making gift boxes full of Christmas cookies. Every year, I pull out my tried and true sugar cookie, that trusty molasses cookie…those can’t-stop-at-one<\/em>\u00a0congo bars. These recipes are always a hit, but after years of baking them over and over, I\u2019m looking for something new to add to the rotation. Something chewy, something chocolatey, something chunky\u2014that everyone will love. Easy breezy, right?<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

\"Chewy<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my answer: Chewy chocolate chip cookies with coconut and Medjool dates<\/a>. These are a loaded chocolate chip cookie recipe. They\u2019re crispy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside, with sweetened flaked coconut, chopped high quality semi-sweet chocolate (you can always use chocolate chips to make life easier!), and pitted, chopped Natural Delights Medjool dates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Chewy<\/p>\n

The cookie dough is rich and buttery, with warm brown sugar flavor. They bake up chewy and stay tender thanks to the sweetened flaked coconut and chopped Medjool dates.<\/p>\n

\"Chewy<\/p>\n

Once baked, the dates have this incredible gooey, melting quality\u2014not unlike the pockets of melted chocolate. And that’s another happy surprise\u2014the Medjool dates mimic some of that rich chocolate flavor, too. While eating one of these cookies, there were many moments when I had to look down to see if the sweetness I was tasting was chocolate or date.<\/p>\n

\"Chewy<\/p>\n

These coconutty, Medjool date-filled chewy chocolate chip cookies make the cut. Now, they’re ready to be boxed and wrapped!<\/p>\n

If you try them, let me know! And if you make holiday cookies, what are your go-to recipes?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
