DOUBLE DATE DELIGHT OATMEAL COOKIES



Double Date Delight Oatmeal Cookies image

Wow! If you loooove dates, and you are looking for a cookie that's chock-full of these sweet, chewy members of the fruit family, then this is the cookie for you. So moist and delicious, it's hard to stop at just one! And the good news is, your overindulgence can be forgiven (slightly!) by the nutritional value inherent in the oats. The recipe comes from the back of a box of Amport chopped dates; you can use those, or for extra moistness you can buy whole dates and chop them yourself. Enjoy!

DATE OATMEAL COOKIES



Date Oatmeal Cookies image

In making cookies for Christmas I was trying to keep in mind what I had in my cabinets (instead of running out for more supplies). I found a recipe in the "More With Less" cookbook that looked interesting. I adapted it pretty heavily based on what I had. These are soft cookies that spread a ton while baking. They are a little crumbly but had a lovely soft, almost old fashioned molasses type taste. Sucanat is unrefined sugar. It has a lovely taste and more redeeming social value then refined sugar. If you don't have it, though, brown sugar would be a fine replacement.

OATMEAL DATE COOKIES

Yield Makes 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick/​115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
½ cup packed (105 g) dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
¾ cup (100 g) Sonora wheat flour, or any other heirloom wheat flour
¾ cup (80 g) old-​fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (145 g) chopped pitted Medjool dates (about 16 )

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until well combined, 1 minute. Add the egg and mix for another minute. Add the flour and oats and mix on low speed until combined. Finally, add the dates in two additions to make sure they're distributed evenly throughout. The dough will be very soft at this point.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Flatten into a disk with your hands, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 2 days)-​chilled dough will be much easier to handle.
  • Place two racks in the middle positions and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal portions, about 1½ ounces (45 g) each. Working quickly so that the dough doesn't warm up, shape each portion into a ball with your hands. You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 2 weeks in a freezer bag to be baked from frozen at a later time. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart to prevent the cookies from touching as they spread when they bake. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheets and switch their positions in the oven, and bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the edges are brown and the middle is golden. Rotating and switching the sheets halfway through the baking process will ensure that the cookies bake evenly. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. The cookies keep well for a couple of days stored in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Use real butter, not margarine, and use fresh eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important for any baking recipe, but it's especially important for oatmeal cookies. Too much or too little of an ingredient can throw off the balance of the cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will be undercooked.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal cookies are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be customized with a variety of add-ins, making them a versatile treat. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy snack or a special dessert, these Double Date Delight Oatmeal Cookies are sure to hit the spot.
