DATE FILLED COOKIES
Ingredients For the Cookie Dough:
For the Filling:
1 cup sugar ½ cup butter (softened) 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 packages dates (cut into small pieces) ¾ cup sugar ¾ cup water 1 tablespoon flour
½ cup milk 3 cups flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
Instruction
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to form a dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Make the Filling: In a saucepan, combine the dates, sugar, water, and flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. Assemble the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼ -inch thickness. Cut the dough into desired shapes (round or square) using a cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of the date filling onto half of the cutouts, then top with another piece of dough, sealing the edges by pressing gently. Bake the Cookies: Place the filled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
