    Date Recipes Faq's

    What is the best way to eat dates?

    One of the best ways to eat dates is to simply consume them as they are, right out of the package. This allows you to experience their soft and chewy texture, along with their rich caramel-like taste.

    Another popular way to enjoy dates is by stuffing them with various fillings such as nuts, cheese, or even chocolate for a delightful combination of flavors.

    How many dates should we eat in a day?

    Dates are nutritious fruit that is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

    However, they are also high in natural sugars and calories. It is important to consider your overall calorie intake and dietary needs when incorporating dates into your daily diet.

    As a general guideline, it is recommended to consume dates in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can provide personalized guidance on the appropriate amount of dates for your specific dietary goals and needs.

    Are dates good for you?

    Yes! Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, dates are not only a sweet treat but also provide essential nutrients for overall well-being.

    They are a great source of energy due to their natural sugars and can be beneficial for maintaining healthy digestion.

    Dates also contain antioxidants that help fight inflammation and protect against chronic diseases. Additionally, they are known to support heart health by reducing cholesterol levels and promoting healthy blood pressure.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 3 ½ cups Flour
    • 1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
    • 2 tablespoon Powder sugar
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
    • ½ cup Orange juice
    • 200 g Butter
    • ¼ cup Vegetable oil
    • 1 Egg yolk
    • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt

    Filling:

    • 450 g Date paste
    • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
    • 1 cup Walnuts chopped

    Instructions
     

    • Start by adding the dry ingredient to a large mixing bowl. (you can do this process in a food processor as well)
    • Add the flour, baking powder, powder sugar, salt, and mix with a whisk.
    • Add the vanilla extract, orange juice, and the egg yolk, soften butter, vegetable oil, and mix with a wooden spoon or with your hands until you get a smooth dough texture.
    • Form the dough into a ball and place it in a medium-size bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest in the fridge for at least an hour.
    • Preheat an oven to 170c (340f) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Remove the bowl from the fridge and place the dough on a clean lightly floured surface.
    • Divide the dough into 3 even pieces. Let the other pieces rest in the fridge until you make the dough roll.
    • Start rolling the dough with a wooden rolling pin into a rectangle shape, cutting the edges if needed. Spread an even layer of the date paste on top of the dough.
    • Sprinkle the cinnamon on top and chopped walnuts.
    • Gently roll out the dough as you would do with a cinnamon roll. Transfer the dough roll onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
    • Cut the roll into even 1-inch thick slices. Bake the cookies in a preheated 170c (350f) oven for 25-30 minutes.
    • Take the cookies out of the oven and cool for 30 minutes, then sprinkle powder sugar on top and serve.

    Notes

    Don’t overbake these cookies. You don't want to dry out these cookies.
    Chill for half an hour before eating. After baking these cookies, take them out of the oven and let them cool for at least 30 minutes. Then powder them with powder sugar.
    Don’t overmix the dough. You don't want to develop the gluten in this dough to prevent these cookies from being dry.
    Add less sugar for less sweet cookies. If you like your cookies less sweet, decrease the sugar in the recipe.
