These Middle Eastern-inspired cookies are filled with naturally sweet date paste and made without added sugar. The crumbly dough combines flour and semolina for a balanced treat for anyone who prefers natural sweetness.
Mix the date paste with the cinnamon and chopped walnuts until you have a soft filling.
Rub the butter into the all-purpose flour and fine semolina. Add milk as needed to bring the mixture together into a dough.
Take a small piece of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place some date filling in the center, seal the edges, and shape it into a ball or use a mold.
Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until the bottoms are lightly colored, keeping the tops pale.
Allergen: contains wheat (gluten) and dairy; if you add walnuts, it also contains tree nuts. Important: Seal the edges well when wrapping the filling in the dough or the date mixture may leak out during baking.
