Bereidingswijze

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet with baking paper or lightly grease it.
• In a bowl, beat together the butter and caster sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until everything is well blended.
• 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 chopped dates into the dough. The dough may get a little sticky, but that is 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 give them a decorative pattern.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until 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.
