Arab date cookies | Healthy and sweet snack

First, prepare the filling: Place the pitted dates in a small saucepan, add 50 ml of water, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, mashing the dates with a fork until you get a thick paste. Remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 160 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper. In a food processor, combine the spelt flour, coconut oil, milk, cane sugar, and baking powder. Mix for 1-2 minutes until the dough comes together.

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and form them into balls. Flatten each ball in your palm, place a portion of date filling in the center, then wrap it with the dough and reshape it into a ball. Place them on the baking tray.
