Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

DATE FILLING
1 - 8 oz. pkg dates, chopped
1/4 cup(s) sugar
3/4 cup(s) water, warm
COOKIE
1/4 cup(s) butter, unsalted
1/4 cup(s) butter flavor shortening
1 cup(s) dark brown sugar
1 - egg, beaten
1/4 cup(s) water, warm
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla
2 cup(s) flour
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

Steps:

  • Bring dates, water, and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until dates are thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool (can be prepared the day before, if needed).
  • Cream butter and sugar with your mixer. Add in the egg, water and vanilla.
  • Stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gently blend the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease your cookie sheet or use a silicone baking mat.
  • Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet or use a silicon mat. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of date mixture on the top of each cookie, then a small dab of cookie dough on top of the date mixture.
  • Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your cookies. Use fresh, ripe dates and good-quality butter and flour.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making your cookies light and airy.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to handle. You can chill the dough for up to 2 hours.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your cookies. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before serving.
