I perfected this recipe for folded date-filled cookies after a few not-so-perfect batches. I have been making these cookies for several years, and everyone loves them.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted dates, chopped
- ½ cup water
- 1 3/4 cups brown sugar, divided
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 ½ cups regular rolled oats
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup butter-flavored shortening (such as Crisco®), melted
Directions
Step 1
Heat dates, water, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until dates are very soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Stir together milk and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside to curdle, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk together flour and baking soda in a large bowl; stir in oats and remaining 1 1/2 cups brown sugar. Stir in melted butter, melted shortening, and curdled milk mixture until well combined; cover dough and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 5
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out dough circles with a round cookie cutter. Place about 1 tablespoon date mixture in the center of each circle; fold in half and press edges together tightly to seal. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
