Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dates
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

Step Instructions
1 Cook the dates and water together in a saucepan, stirring frequently, until soft and amalgamated.
2 Let the cooked dates cool.
3 Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC).
4 Butter a large cookie sheet to prevent sticking.
5 In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
6 In another bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter and eggs until smooth. Then, gradually beat in the buttermilk until fully incorporated.
7 Mix the beaten butter, egg, and buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, ensuring everything is well combined. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more buttermilk to achieve a soft consistency.
8 Using a spoon, drop half of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading during baking.
9 Divide the cooked date mixture evenly over the cookie bases.
10 Spoon the remaining dough over the date filling, covering it completely.
11 Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and set.
12 Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
