Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s perfectly warm for baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, softened butter, water, and eggs, beating well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Carefully measure out the all-purpose flour using the spoon-and-level method for accuracy, then add it to the wet mixture along with the baking soda. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add Dates and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped dates and nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Using a teaspoon, drop the cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
- Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
