These slice-and-bake cookies are a delightful treat, combining the sweetness of dates with the crunch of walnuts.
Cream the butter, egg, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a finer texture.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
Mix on low speed to avoid overworking the dough.
Fold in the dates and walnuts.
Chop the dates finely to ensure even distribution.
Shape the dough into two logs, wrap in wax paper, and freeze until firm.
Freezing the dough makes it easier to slice cleanly.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets.
Line the baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice the dough into 3/8-inch rounds and place on baking sheets.
Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
Cool the cookies on a wire rack before serving.
Allow the cookies to cool completely for the best texture.
