12 servings
- •2 cups pitted dates, chopped
- •0.5 cup water
- •0.25 cup brown sugar
- •0.5 cup milk
- •1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- •2 cups all-purpose flour
- •1 teaspoon baking soda
- •2.5 cups regular rolled oats
- •0.5 cup melted butter
- •0.5 cup butter-flavored shortening (such as Crisco®), melted
Instructions
- Heat dates, water, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until dates are very soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Stir together milk and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside to curdle, about 10 minutes.
- Whisk together flour and baking soda in a large bowl; stir in oats and remaining 1 1/2 cups brown sugar. Stir in melted butter, melted shortening, and curdled milk mixture until well combined; cover dough and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out dough circles with a round cookie cutter. Place about 1 tablespoon date mixture in the center of each circle; fold in half and press edges together tightly to seal. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
