Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Add the finely chopped dates to the flour mixture and toss to coat the pieces evenly.
Pour in the olive oil and white wine, and add the optional fresh rosemary if using. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture forms a cohesive dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute, just until smooth. Avoid overworking the dough.
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out crackers in your preferred shape.
Place the cut crackers on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small amount of space between each piece. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
Sprinkle the crackers lightly with coarse sea salt for added flavor and texture.
Bake the crackers for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through cooking for even baking.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
