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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Chop the pitted dates into small pieces and set them aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 7
Fold in the chopped dates gently until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
