Ingredients
- 150 g Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 115 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 100 g Dark brown sugar, packed
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 g Pitted dates, finely chopped
- 50 g Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until the mixture is creamy.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Gently fold in the chopped dates and crystallized ginger to evenly distribute them in the dough.
Step 7
Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
