With Eid coming up again soon, I was experimenting with ingredients over the weekend. With pantry staples, and a bag of pitted dates, I was able to come up with the following recipe. These cookies were so easy to make, and not too costly either 👏🏽

They could be packaged individually as a gift for your friends or family, or, you could make a quick batch to serve with tea or coffee. Give them a go 💕

Ingredients:

200g caster sugar

200g softened butter

1 beaten egg

1tsp coconut essence 

350g flour

50g desiccated coconut

1/2 a cup of pitted and chopped dates 
Method:

• Cream the softened butter with the caster sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add to the mixture 1 beaten egg and mix well.
• Add a tsp of coconut essence 
• Add in the sifted plain flour, desiccated coconut and chopped dates and mix to form a cookie dough.
• Allow the dough to rest, and heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Once rested, roll out the dough and cut into required shapes.
• Place the cut cookie dough onto lined baking sheets and then bake until golden brown.
• Allow the cookies to cool, and then decorate and package as required.
