Time 17m

Yield 1 serving, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

7 fresh dates (depending on size, I have used sweetened al-noor dates of Tunisia which are normally soaked in corn )
4 1/2 tablespoons butter (a guess, please add as needed to a consistency of a thick sauce)
3 1/2 tablespoons finely ground rice flour or 3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 dashes freshly ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Remove pits from the dates and arrange on small plate.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour.
  • Cook over medium heat stirring constantly, until the flour turns a light- medium golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cardamom.
  • Allow to cool slightly, stirring occasionally.
  • While still pretty warm pour over the dates and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
  • Serve with coffee, or tea if preferred.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right dates: Use fresh, soft dates for the best flavor. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes it easy to chop the dates and nuts into a fine paste. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the dates and nuts by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Don't over-mix the dough: Mix the dough just until it comes together. Over-mixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help it hold its shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature: Bake the cookies at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. This will help them stay soft and chewy.

Conclusion:

Gulf Fresh Date Treats are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like them soft and chewy or crispy and crunchy, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack, reach for a Gulf Fresh Date Treat!
