How to make it

  • Pre-heat the oven at 180 C.

  • Beat the butter until soft and creamy.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat for 2 minutes or so.
  • Add egg and mix.
  • Add the flour and mix together until all the flour is absorbed. Do not overwork the dough, just enough until all the flour is well incorporated.
  • Divide the dough in 10 - 12 parts and form little balls.
  • Slit open the dates lengthways, remove the stone/seed,place chocolate / whole nuts and push the flesh closed again.
  • Flatten it (balls) out slightly and place a date in the center.
  • Close dough around filling to cover it.Flatten it to give the shape of a cookie.
  • Place the cookies on non-stick baking sheets, bake for 15 - 18 minutes or until golden.
  • Serve warm with tea or coffee.
