Kolompeh, the famous cookie of Kerman, wraps a sweet date and walnut filling in a cardamom-scented dough before baking. Equally at home on a party table or in a lunchbox, this cookie is both filling and warmly spiced.
Knead the mashed dates, chopped walnuts and cinnamon together in a bowl until it forms a paste.
Beat the softened butter, powdered sugar and egg together, then add the flour, baking powder and cardamom to form a soft dough.
Pinch off walnut-sized pieces of dough and flatten them in your palm, place a teaspoon of filling in the centre, seal, and flatten slightly.
Arrange the cookies on a baking tray and bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for eighteen minutes, until the bottoms turn lightly golden.
Pinch the edges of the dough firmly closed when sealing the cookies, or the filling will leak out during baking. Allergens: contains gluten (flour), dairy (butter), egg and tree nuts (walnut).
If you cannot find cardamom, you can leave it out and add an extra pinch of cinnamon instead; the flavour profile shifts slightly, but the balance holds.

Hurmalı iç harcı fazla tatlı olur diye çekiniyordum ama tarçın dengeyi tam kurmuş, ailem bayıldı.
