Ingredients

• 200 grams of finely chopped dates

• 100 grams of unsalted butter at room temperature

• 100 grams of light brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 200 grams of flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• A pinch of salt

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
• In a bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until everything is well combined.
• In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until a dough forms.
• Fold the finely chopped dates into the dough. The dough may become a little sticky, but that's normal.
• Scoop small portions of the dough onto the baking sheet to form cookies. You can wet your hands a little to make the dough easier to handle.
• Lightly press the top of each cookie with a fork to create a decorative pattern.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
