Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality cognac. - If you don't have cognac, you can substitute another dark liquor, such as whiskey or rum. - Use Medjool dates for a softer, more caramel-like flavor. - If you don't have Medjool dates, you can use other types of dates, but you may need to adjust the amount of sugar you use. - To make the squares extra decadent, add a layer of chocolate ganache or caramel sauce. - For a gluten-free version of the squares, use gluten-free flour. - The squares can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.Conclusion:
Cognac date squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich cognac flavor and chewy texture, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
