Date cookies

April 7, 2015 By Sandy

Date cookies

This recipe is one of my mother’s. As a child I always remember a few of them in a tin – not for us though, for surprise guests!

225g dates, finely chopped
200g plain flour
110g butter
100g caster sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 large egg

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas 6.
  2. Rub the butter into the flour until you have fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the dates, sugar and baking powder – mix together.
  4. Beat the egg and fold in with a wooden spoon.
  5. On a baking try greased or lined with baking parchment or silicone spoon the mixture into rough dollops – the recipe makes around 8 large to 16 small cookies. Leave a bit of room for them to spread.
  6. Place in the oven and bake until golden (around 10 – 15 minutes, depending on size). 
  7. Allow to cool slightly and then place on a cooling rack.

These cookies keep for about 5 days – they do freeze well.
