Ingredients
 
 

Cookie Dough
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 an egg yolk
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips/chunks
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
Extra
  • Flakey sea salt
  • 16 dates

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (convection) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the base
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the room-temperature butter and brown sugar for 1–2 minutes, until light and off-white.
Step 3: Add wet ingredients
  1. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until fully combined.
Step 4: Add dry ingredients
  1. Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks just until incorporated.
Step 5: Fill & bake
  1. Scoop 1-teaspoon portions of cookie dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Split each date open and place a portion of cookie dough into the center.
  3. Bake for 7–8 minutes, until the dough is set but still soft.
Step 6: Cool & finish
  1. Let the cookie-stuffed dates rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring.
  2. Finish with flaky sea salt, if desired.
Serve & store
  1. Enjoy fresh, or store in a chilled environment for up to 8 days.
