Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the pitted dates and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the dates soften and the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms.
-
Fold in the chopped walnuts into the dough until evenly distributed.
-
Take a small spoonful of the dough and flatten it on your palm. Place a small amount of the date paste in the center and fold the edges to cover the filling, shaping it into a cookie.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and date filling, placing the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Optionally, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
-
Enjoy these cozy Armenian Date Cookies with a comforting cup of tea or share them with friends and family for a delightful treat.
