Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup dates, pitted and chopped (about 6 dates)
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped
8 round store-bought shortbread cookies (about 2 inches in diameter)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine dates, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until dates break down to a soft paste, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, then stir in walnuts.
  • Divide date mixture among 4 cookies. Top each with another cookie, and dust with confectioners' sugar if using. Serve immediately.
