Oatmeal Date Cookies

Preheat the oven to 150 °C (300 °F). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix the canola oil with the brown sugar. Then, add the eggs one at a time. Add the orange zest and juice and the vanilla extract.

Incorporate the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Add the dates and pecans. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula.

 Using an ice cream scoop of about 22.5 ml (1.5 tablespoon), make dough balls. Lightly press the cookies with your hands.

Finally, bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden. Let cool on a wire rack. Repeat the same steps for the remaining cookie dough.

Mix the icing sugar with the orange juice. Once the oatmeal date cookies are cold, ice them with the orange preparation.
