How to Make Favourite Date Walnut Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped dates and walnuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls.
  8. Place the balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each.
  9. Gently press down on each ball with a fork to flatten slightly.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cool, store in an airtight container (and hide them from those with a sweet tooth!).
