Take each dough ball, flatten, place a date ball in the middle, then wrap the dough around the filling.
Press gently into a Maamoul mould, then invert and tap the front edge of the mould onto a hard surface like a kitchen counter to get the cookie out.
If you don’t have a mould, simply press down the date filled dough slightly.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
NOTES
* You can use other types of soft dates. If your dates are on the drier side, you may need to add more water while cooking.
** You can also use plain flour. I haven’t tried any other types of flour to make this recipe, so I can’t say for sure if any other substitutions will work.
