FAQs

Can I make these cookies without a food processor?

Using a food processor helps achieve the smooth dough and creamy filling needed for these cookies. If you don’t have one, you can try finely chopping the dates and mixing thoroughly by hand, but the texture may be less smooth.

Are these cookies gluten-free?

Yes, these treats are naturally gluten-free as they use almond flour and flax meal instead of wheat flour. Just ensure all ingredients you use are certified gluten-free if needed.
