Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams pitted dates
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Chop the pitted dates into small pieces and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped dates gently until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
