Begin by soaking the pitted dates in hot water for about 10 minutes. This softens them and makes them easier to blend.
In a food processor, combine the soaked dates and natural peanut butter. Blend until you have a smooth and sticky mixture. This combination will serve as the sweet and binding base for your cookies.
Add the quick oats to the date and peanut butter mixture. Pulse until the oats are fully incorporated, creating a cohesive dough.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the dough into small cookie-sized rounds. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
