How to Make Date Oatmeal Cookies With Milk Chocolate Chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ½ cup shortening, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped Medjool dates and 1 cup milk chocolate chips.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Prepare two shallow dishes: one with a little water and one with ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Dip the bottom of a glass in the water, then into the sugar. Gently press the sugared bottom onto the top of each cookie to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- **Optional:** For an extra chocolatey treat, break a milk chocolate bar into individual squares and place one on top of each warm cookie right out of the oven. Top with another warm cookie to create a double-chocolate sandwich cookie. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.
