Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) Butter unsalted
- 1 ¼ cups (275 g) Light brown sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 teaspoon Water
- 3 cups (375 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup (147 g) Dates pitted chopped
Instructions
- Weigh or measure the light brown sugar and set it aside. In another bowl, weigh or measure the flour. Add the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to the flour, then whisk to blend. Cut the dates into small pieces until you have one cup. I press them lightly into the measuring cup to ensure a full cup of dates.
- Cube the butter and add it to your mixer bowl. Cream the butter on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and mix for 3 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix for another 30 seconds.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture about one-third at a time, mixing just until the flour is incorporated. Add the chopped dates and mix for about ten seconds. Use a spatula to check that the dates are evenly dispersed. Cover the bowl and chill for thirty minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C) and line two cookie sheet pans with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop, or a spoon for drop cookies, add twelve mounds to each prepared pan. Bake for ten to twelve minutes. Once out of the oven, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
