Make small balls of the dough and roll in the sugar.
Place the rolled dough about 2 inches apart on a lightly greased pan.
Press each ball flat.

Bite into heavenly, chewy healthy oatmeal date cookies and enjoy them with your evening chai/coffee!!
Store leftovers in airtight containers.
Enjoy!!!
For an eggless version, substitute the single egg with a flax seed substitute. Just soak 1 tbsp flax seed powder in 3 tbsp of water for about 5 minutes and then use in the place of egg. #oats
