Dates cookies

Another dates cookies from Gayathri's space. Now she says that she found this recipe in an Indian cookbook. So I am naming the origin of this recipe as India. But I doubt the same since Indian cuisine generally doesn't involve dates and we also have very less "baked" recipes from Indian cuisine.


Nevertheless this recipe is quite easy and I loved the biscuits. I am actually eating it daily. Gayathri's recipe asks to roll the whole dough and then to cut it into squares. But I did it the old fashioned way. I made a big log of the dough. Rolled it in a cling wrap, refrigerated and then cut it into small round cookies. The other difference is I didn't sprinkle poppy seeds on top. I felt that would not add on to the cookie taste.


Recipe Source: gayathriscookspot
Country: India

Ingredients:

Wheat Flour - 50 gm
Maida/ White Flour - 100 gm
Granulated Sugar - 75 gm
Butter - 75 gm
Milk - 3-5tbs
Dates - 50 gm
Salt  - a pinch


Method:


  • Powder the sugar in a mixer grinder.
  • Mix salt, maida and wheat flour in a bowl.
  • In another bowl cream butter and powdered sugar together.
  • Add 2tbs of milk and chopped dates and beat until creamy.
  • Add the flour and mix well.
  • Add milk if necessary to get a clumpy dough. Just so that the dough comes together. Don't make it very sticky.
  • Make a log of the dough, roll it in a cling wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Remove the dough from refrigerator and cut it into thin round discs.
  • Place on a lined baking tray.
  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove from oven and place the cookies on a wire rack.
  • They will be soft when hot but will become crispy and crunchy when cooled down.
