- Place the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, molasses, dates, and honey in a mixer. Combine until light and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste. Mix just until combined. Add the other egg. Scrape the sides and mix again.
Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a different bowl combine the dry ingredients to add to the wet mixture. Combine 3 cups of oatmeal, 1 cup of pecans, 10 ounces of white chocolate chips, 1-1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup oat flour, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- With the mixer running very slowly add the combined dry ingredients.
- Allow the dough to rise one hour. If refrigerating bring it to room temperature before scooping. Or the dough will look dry when baked.
- Shape and top as desired.
