Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

DATE FILLING
1 8 oz. pkg dates, chopped
1/4 c sugar
3/4 c water, warm
COOKIE
1/4 c butter, unsalted
1/4 c butter flavor shortening
1 c dark brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c water, warm
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 c flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. 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).
  • 2. Cream butter and sugar with your mixer. Add in the egg, water and vanilla.
  • 3. Stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gently blend the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease your cookie sheet or use a silicone baking mat.
  • 5. 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.
  • 6. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
