Ingredients
  

  • 130 g Flour or 1 cup loosely packed
  • 100 g Sugar or 1/2 cup(we can use white sugar or brown sugar or a mix of both.Here I used 1:1)
  • 75 g Butter or 1/3 cup
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Coffee Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Chopped dates 110-115 g

Instructions
 

  • This Date cookie recipe using chopped dates can be made in a very simple method ,just like how we make a chocolate chip cookies.
    Cream the butter and sugar.
    I have used a whisk to cream them together
  • Add egg ,vanilla extract and coffee powder and mix until if forms a thick and uniform mixture.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt.
    Now for convenience,I switched from using a whisk on to a spatula.
    Combine them all together.Take care not to overmix the batter.
  • Just when the batter come together, add the chopped dates and mix to form a homogenous date cookie dough.
    Once the dough is ready,take small portions (1 tablespoon scoop dough) using a spoon or an ice-cream scoop and place it onto the baking tray lined with a parchment paper or onto a non stick baking tray.
    Leave a little room(1 inch space) between each ball of date cookie dough, as they will spread a little while bake.
  • Place the cookie sheet onto a 350 F preheated oven in the middle rack.
    Bake for 16-18 minutes.
  • Transfer them onto a cooloing rack.
    The date cookies will be soft when they are out of the oven.
    Wait to cool down down and become firm.
  • Enkoy delicious date cookies with a cup of creamy coffee or with a glass of cold milk.
