Ingredients

• 200 grams of fresh dates, finely chopped

• 100 grams of unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 100 grams of powdered sugar

• 1 gros egg

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• 200 g flour

• 1/2 teaspoon of 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 powdered 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 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 chopped dates into the dough. The dough may become a little sticky, but that's normal.
• Place small portions of dough on the baking sheet to form cookies. You can lightly wet your hands to make the dough easier to handle.
• Gently press the top of each cookie with a fork to create a decorative pattern.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 to 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 cooling rack to cool completely.
