Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and brush them with butter.
Step 2:
Beat butter until creamy, and then add the brown sugar until the texture is airy. Start beating in the brown sugar and once incorporated, add the eggs in one at a time making sure to beat well each time. Add the vanilla and nutmeg and beat once again.
Step 3:
Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg and vanilla. Then, carefully mix and incorporate the flour mixture with the butter, sugar and eggs. Add the tahini and stir. Add in the oats and Medjool dates.
Step 4:
Spoon out dough with an ice cream scoop onto cookie sheets leaving space between each cookie.
