Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped dates
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped dates and milk using a spatula, ensuring the dates are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie ball with the back of a spoon or your palm.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
