An Iron rich cookie that the kids will love to munch on! I made this last August and somehow forgot to post it here. When I was looking up the drafts, I saw this one and decided to post it for the ‘Bake-a-thon’.


Lil Angel helped me in stamping out the dough with a cookie cutter.She used all the shapes I had and really enjoyed the whole process. She was even more eager to see how ‘her’ cookies would turn out after being baked!



I used:

Seedless Dates- 10 numbers
All purpose flour – 1/2 cup
Wheat flour – 1/2 cup
Butter, melted[not ghee] -1/4 cup
Sugar- 1 tablespoon

  1. Chop dates and bring to boil in a pan with 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. Cool and puree.
  2. Take the flours, butter,sugar and mix to get a bread crumb consistency.
  3. Add the dates puree and knead to a dough. Roll into a log and wrap it up in a cling sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  4. Take out from the fridge and roll out into 1/4 ” thickens. 
  5. Using a cookie cutter stamp out shapes of your choice.
  6. Arrange on a tray lined with butter paper and prick with a fork.
  7. Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degree C for 15 minutes or till golden brown around the edges.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
The cookies are ready to be enjoyed!

Note:

  • The oven timings will vary depending on the size and thickness of the cookie
  • The cookie will be soft but will become crisp after it cools down.
  • The dates I used was very sweet so I used only a tablespoon of sugar. Add sugar to suit your taste.
  • I used a chocolate glaze and some sprinkles and the kids loved it even more….
Here are the other bakes that are a part of this Bake- A – Thon group….

  1. Hi, just checking before I try baking these cookies. The recipe doesn't have any rising agent (baking soda or powder), do they still turn good? Thanks.

  2. Hi Shri!I did not use any rising agent and the cookies turned out great. I stamped them out a little thick so they were not very crunchy.Try making them a bit thin so that they turn out crisp.
