Steps:
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until well combined, 1 minute. Add the egg and mix for another minute. Add the flour and oats and mix on low speed until combined. Finally, add the dates in two additions to make sure they're distributed evenly throughout. The dough will be very soft at this point.
- Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Flatten into a disk with your hands, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 2 days)-chilled dough will be much easier to handle.
- Place two racks in the middle positions and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal portions, about 1½ ounces (45 g) each. Working quickly so that the dough doesn't warm up, shape each portion into a ball with your hands. You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 2 weeks in a freezer bag to be baked from frozen at a later time. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart to prevent the cookies from touching as they spread when they bake. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheets and switch their positions in the oven, and bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the edges are brown and the middle is golden. Rotating and switching the sheets halfway through the baking process will ensure that the cookies bake evenly. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. The cookies keep well for a couple of days stored in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Look for dates that are plump and moist, and use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixed dough will make tough cookies. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, and then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Once they are completely cool, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Butterscotch date cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and chewy texture and rich butterscotch flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and delicious snack, give butterscotch date cookies a try!
