Sticky Date Cookies

Chop the Dried Dates into small pieces, I generally aim for 6-8 pieces per date. (half lengthwise, then thirds or quarters depending on size)

Whisk Dried ingredients together in a bowl and toss chopped dates through this mixture to coat.

Cream Butter & Sugars together with an electrix mixer until light and fluffy. A paddle attachment is best for this, you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go.

Add the Egg & Vanilla and start the mixer slowly as it incorporates - increasing the speed to beat in thoroghly as the mixture comes together.

Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Refrigerate 30mins to firm up.

Preheat Oven to 180°C and prepare a large baking sheet (or two depending on size) with parchment/baking paper.

Using a dessert spoon or table spoon, scoop cookie dough into even sized balls and place well spaced on the baking sheet. (roughly 4-5cm apart)

Bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool on the tray 5mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy while still slightly warm, or wait until completely cool to store in an airtight container.
