Date Turnovers image

This is my own recipe that I perfected after a few not so perfect batches. I have been making these cookies for several years and everyone loves them.

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups pitted dates, chopped
½ cup water
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
½ cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ½ cups regular rolled oats
1 ½ cups brown sugar
½ cup melted butter
½ cup butter-flavored shortening (such as Crisco®), melted

Steps:

  • Heat dates, water, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until dates are very soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Stir vinegar into milk in a bowl; set aside to curdle, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk flour and baking soda together in a large bowl; stir in oats and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar. Stir butter, shortening, and milk mixture into flour mixture; cover dough and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface about 1/8-inch thick; cut dough circles with a round cookie cutter. Place about 1 tablespoon date mixture in the center of each circle; fold circle in half and press edges together tightly to seal. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove to cool completely on a wire rack.

These were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think they would be good if you added a little more butter to the dough.
