Tips:

  • Use a food processor to chop the dates finely. This will help them blend into the cookie dough more easily and prevent them from clumping together.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
