Butter3 tbsp
Salta pinch
Eggs1
Sugar3/4 cup
Baking Powder1/2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Brown Sugar1/2 cup
Rolled Oats1 cup
Dates1 cup, pitted and chopped

Instructions

1
Set the oven to 175 C / 350 F and line your trays so nothing sticks.
2
Sift the dry ingredients — flour, rolled oats, leavener — into a bowl and whisk briefly.
3
Cream butter with both sugars until fluffy, beat in the egg, then fold in the flour mixture.
4
Press the dates into the dough in two additions so every piece gets its share.
5
Scoop onto the trays, leaving room to spread, and bake 10-14 minutes until the edges set.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
